The TVS Ntorq 125 has been a game-changer in the Indian scooter market since its debut. Known for its sporty design, throaty exhaust note, and advanced tech features, it quickly became a favorite among young riders. As we move further into 2026, the popular 125cc scooter continues to make headlines with recent pricing updates, new variant launches like the Super Soldier Edition, and changing sales dynamics against the rising wave of electric vehicles. This article covers everything you need to know about the current state of the TVS Ntorq 125 in India.

What Happened Recently with TVS Ntorq 125?

In February 2026, TVS Motor Company rolled out a minor price hike across the entire Ntorq 125 lineup. The prices increased by a marginal amount, reflecting standard annual adjustments rather than mechanical changes. The ex-showroom price for the base model now starts at around Rs. 87,900, while the top-tier XT variant goes up to approximately Rs. 1.09 lakh.

In addition to price changes, recent industry sales reports from January 2026 revealed a surprising shift. While the TVS Ntorq 125 remains heavily popular, the company’s own electric scooter, the TVS iQube, outsold it during the month. This marks a significant milestone in the Indian two-wheeler market, showing that consumer interest is slowly shifting toward premium electric mobility even as sporty petrol scooters maintain a strong foothold.

Key Details of the 2026 Models

The 2026 lineup of the TVS Ntorq 125 offers multiple variants to cater to different buyers. These include the standard Disc, Race Edition, Super Squad (featuring Marvel-inspired themes like the recent Super Soldier Edition), the powerful Race XP, and the highly advanced XT variant.

At its core, the scooter is powered by a reliable 124.8cc, three-valve, air-cooled engine. The standard versions produce about 9.25 bhp, while the performance-focused Race XP pushes out a slightly higher 10.06 bhp. TVS has also ensured that all new models meet the latest OBD-2B emission norms. For tech lovers, the scooter comes loaded with the TVS SmartXonnect Bluetooth system, offering turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, ride analytics, and even voice assist on the higher trims. New color schemes like Turquoise, Harlequin Blue, and Nardo Grey have also been introduced to keep the styling fresh.

Background and Context

When TVS first introduced the Ntorq 125, the Indian scooter market was mostly dominated by practical, family-oriented scooters like the Honda Activa and Suzuki Access. TVS saw a gap in the market for a performance-oriented scooter aimed at Gen-Z riders who wanted motorcycle-like handling and modern connectivity. The Ntorq completely disrupted the 125cc segment by offering a fully digital instrument cluster, aggressive styling, and a unique exhaust sound that immediately set it apart from its sensible rivals. Over the years, it has sold hundreds of thousands of units, carving out a dedicated fan base known as “Ntorqians.”

Why It Matters and Impact in India

The success of the TVS Ntorq 125 forced other manufacturers to wake up and upgrade their offerings. Because of the Ntorq, Indian buyers now expect Bluetooth connectivity, digital screens, and better acceleration from 125cc scooters as a standard standard.

However, its recent sales battle with the TVS iQube highlights a crucial transition in the Indian auto sector. While young enthusiasts in tier-2 and tier-3 cities still prefer the rumble of a petrol engine and the quick refueling convenience, urban commuters are leaning towards the lower running costs of electric scooters. The Ntorq acts as an essential bridge for TVS, funding their electric research while keeping their brand highly visible among young, petrol-head consumers.

What Happens Next?

TVS is heavily expected to expand the Ntorq family soon. Industry rumors and recent auto expo teasers suggest that a more powerful TVS Ntorq 150 is under development. This upcoming maxi-sports scooter will aim to rival the likes of the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SR 160. Until then, TVS will likely keep the Ntorq 125 fresh with periodic color updates, special festive editions, and minor tech upgrades to maintain its strong presence in the competitive 125cc space.
