The TVS Jupiter is one of India's most popular family scooters — powered by a refined 113.3cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, BS6 Phase 2B fuel-injected engine producing 7.91 bhp and 9.8 Nm of torque. Under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, a valid insurance policy is mandatory for every two-wheeler on Indian roads, and with the Jupiter priced between Rs. 73,550 and Rs. 89,050 (ex-showroom) depending on variant, protecting that investment with the right cover is both essential and affordable.
The Jupiter has been updated to OBD-2B emission compliance as of March 2025, with improved engine management sensors and an updated ECU, while engine output and performance remain unchanged.
Third-Party Insurance (Mandatory) Third-party insurance is the minimum legal requirement for riding any TVS Jupiter on Indian public roads. It covers financial liability for bodily injury, death, or property damage caused to a third party — up to Rs. 7.5 lakh for property damage and unlimited liability for injury or death. It provides no protection for your Jupiter itself: an accident that damages your scooter, theft from an unattended parking spot, or a wiring fire — none of these are covered under a standalone third-party plan. For a daily-use family scooter, third-party-only cover leaves a significant financial gap.
Comprehensive Insurance (Recommended) A comprehensive policy gives the TVS Jupiter full protection — combining Own Damage (OD) cover with mandatory third-party liability. It covers accidental damage from collisions, theft, fire, natural calamities including monsoon floods and cyclones, and in-transit damage. For a daily commuter like the Jupiter that navigates city traffic, potholed roads, and monsoon-affected urban routes, comprehensive insurance ensures a single incident does not translate into a large out-of-pocket expense. It also unlocks add-ons like Zero Depreciation and Engine Protection that make claims smoother and more complete.
Standalone Own Damage (OD) Policy Following IRDAI regulatory changes in September 2019, Jupiter owners can purchase a Standalone Own Damage policy separately from their third-party insurance. This is particularly useful if you already hold a valid long-term third-party policy — typically issued for 5 years at the time of new scooter purchase — and want to shop for the best OD deal from a different insurer at renewal. It provides coverage against accidental damage, theft, and natural calamities for your Jupiter without duplicating your TP cover.
How Much Does TVS Jupiter Insurance Cost in India?
The TVS Jupiter's 113.3cc engine falls under IRDAI's 75cc–150cc two-wheeler bracket for third-party premium calculation — one of the most affordable TP slabs in the motor insurance classification. The annual TP premium for this bracket is Rs. 714 (excluding GST) as per the current IRDAI-notified rate. The final insurance cost for your Jupiter depends on several variables: the scooter's age and current IDV, your city of registration (Zone A or Zone B), the type of coverage chosen (TP-only or comprehensive), your accumulated No Claim Bonus, the add-ons you select, and your claim history.

How to Calculate TVS Jupiter Insurance Premium Online?
The comprehensive insurance premium for your Jupiter is driven primarily by its IDV — the current market value set by the insurer using the ex-showroom price and IRDAI's depreciation schedule. For a new Jupiter, IDV ranges from Rs. 73,550 to Rs. 89,050 depending on variant (Drum, Drum Alloy, SmartXonnect Drum, SmartXonnect Disc, Special Edition). As the scooter ages, IDV reduces per the IRDAI schedule — 15% in year one, 30% by year three, and 50% by year five — bringing down both the comprehensive premium and the maximum claim payout in a total loss or theft scenario.
Beyond IDV, the final premium reflects your city of registration (Zone A metros attract higher OD rates), the add-ons selected, and any NCB discount accumulated — starting at 20% after the first claim-free year and rising to 50% after five consecutive claim-free years. The Jupiter's 113.3cc engine sits in the 75–150cc IRDAI TP bracket (Rs. 714/year), making its overall insurance the most affordable in the TVS scooter family after the Zest 110.

What Is Covered And Not Covered TVS Jupiter Insurance?
Accidental damage to your TVS Jupiter — including body panels, SmartXonnect console, LED DRL assembly, and mechanical components — from collisions, overturning, or road accidents
Theft or total loss of the Jupiter, with IDV paid out after FIR verification and insurer survey
Fire damage caused by self-ignition, lightning, explosion, arson, or short-circuit in the scooter's wiring
Natural calamity damage — monsoon floods, cyclones, earthquakes, hailstorms, landslides, and inundation of the scooter
Third-party property damage liability up to Rs. 7.5 lakh per incident caused by your Jupiter
Third-party bodily injury or death — unlimited liability as awarded by a competent court
Mandatory Personal Accident (PA) cover of Rs. 15 lakh for the Jupiter owner-rider (compulsory since January 2019)
Towing charges incurred when moving your immobilised Jupiter to the nearest authorised TVS service centre
In-transit damage if your TVS Jupiter is damaged while being transported by road, rail, or waterway
Damage to declared accessories — factory-fitted extras such as alloy wheels, mobile holder, or LED lighting kit — when endorsed on the policy
Riding the Jupiter under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance at the time of the incident
Riding without a valid two-wheeler driving licence or with a suspended licence
Mechanical or electrical breakdowns — normal wear and tear of the engine, tyres, and consumables
Damage sustained while riding the Jupiter outside the geographical boundaries of India
Losses arising from war, nuclear risks, civil unrest, riots, or government seizure
Using the Jupiter for hire, reward, or commercial delivery purposes not covered under the standard policy
Consequential losses — such as loss of income due to the scooter being off the road after an accident
Engine damage due to water ingress (hydrostatic lock) unless the Engine and Gearbox Protection add-on is included
Zero Depreciation Cover When the TVS Jupiter is involved in an accident, insurers apply depreciation to every replaced part — plastic body panels attract 50% depreciation and rubber components face similar deductions. On a scooter where parts like the LED DRL housing, body casing, and alloy wheel covers are popular replacement items, zero depreciation cover ensures you receive the full replacement cost without any deduction. Strongly recommended for Jupiter scooters under 5 years old and especially for daily commuters where minor urban scrapes and panel damage are a realistic possibility.
Engine and Gearbox Protection The Jupiter's 113.3cc fuel-injected engine is a precision, low-inertia unit that delivers excellent refinement — but standard comprehensive policies exclude damage caused by water ingress or oil leakage. If the engine suffers hydrostatic lock after riding through waterlogged roads during Chennai or Mumbai's monsoon season, the repair cost falls entirely on you without this add-on. Engine and Gearbox Protection covers these specific scenarios and is strongly advisable for Jupiter owners who commute year-round through flood-prone Indian cities.
Roadside Assistance (RSA) A flat tyre, a dead battery, or running out of fuel mid-commute — small incidents that can disrupt your entire workday when you depend on your Jupiter for daily transportation. RSA provides 24x7 support including towing, flat tyre assistance, fuel delivery, and battery jump-start. For a family scooter ridden daily across city roads in Coimbatore, Pune, or Delhi, RSA is one of the most practical add-ons and is typically available at a very modest premium on the Jupiter.
Return to Invoice (RTI) In the event of theft or total loss, standard insurance pays only the depreciated IDV of your Jupiter — which can be significantly lower than what you originally paid, including registration and road tax. Return to Invoice cover ensures you receive the full original invoice amount. For a new Jupiter SmartXonnect Disc variant at approximately Rs. 88,050 ex-showroom, the gap between IDV and on-road price can easily exceed Rs. 12,000–Rs. 15,000, making RTI a worthwhile inclusion in the first 2–3 years of ownership.
Consumables Cover After any accident involving the Jupiter, consumables like engine oil, brake fluid, nuts, bolts, and grease need replacement — costs that fall outside the scope of a standard claim. While these amounts are modest on a 113.3cc commuter scooter, they add up, especially after an incident requiring panel replacement or brake component repair. Consumables Cover ensures these costs are reimbursed as part of your claim settlement, making it a practical and affordable inclusion for daily Jupiter riders.
Tyre Protection The TVS Jupiter rides on 90/90-12 front and rear tyres — standard commuter rubber that sees heavy use on Indian city roads. Tyre damage from potholes, sharp debris, or kerb impact is not covered under a standard policy. The Tyre Protection add-on covers repair or replacement of tyres and tubes damaged by accidental external means, providing a useful safety net for a scooter that navigates urban roads and residential lanes daily.

With a reimbursement claim, you pay the full repair bill upfront at any garage of your choice and submit documents to the insurer for reimbursement. SMC Insurance can help you locate
Bike Insurance Terms You Should Know
IDV (Insured Declared Value)
The current market value of your TVS Jupiter, set by the insurer based on the ex-showroom price and IRDAI's age-based depreciation schedule. For a new Jupiter, IDV ranges from approximately Rs. 73,550 to Rs. 89,050 depending on variant. IDV reduces each year per IRDAI norms — 15% in year one, 20% by year two, and 50% by year five — and represents the maximum amount you receive in case of theft or total loss. Do not under-declare the IDV just to reduce your annual premium — a lower IDV means a lower payout when you need it most.
NCB (No Claim Bonus)
A discount of 20–50% on your OD renewal premium for every year you do not make a claim on your Jupiter insurance. NCB starts at 20% after the first claim-free year and rises to 50% after five consecutive claim-free years. It is earned on the policy, not the scooter, and is transferable between insurers. The NCB Protection add-on allows one claim per policy year without forfeiting your accumulated bonus — available through SMC Insurance.
Zero Depreciation
An add-on that waives all depreciation deductions from claim payouts, ensuring you receive the full replacement cost of every part. Most valuable for Jupiter scooters under 5 years old, where body panels, plastic components, LED DRL housing, and rubber parts attract 30–50% depreciation under standard settlement terms. Particularly worthwhile for the SmartXonnect variants where electronic components carry higher replacement costs.
Deductible
The portion of the claim amount borne by the policyholder. The compulsory deductible for the TVS Jupiter is Rs. 50 per claim — applicable to bikes up to 150cc as per IRDAI motor tariff guidelines. In addition, you can opt for a voluntary deductible to reduce your OD premium — but this means a higher out-of-pocket cost at every claim time. The compulsory deductible is non-negotiable and cannot be waived by any insurer.
Endorsement
A written amendment to your existing Jupiter insurance policy used to update details such as registered address, ownership change after resale, addition of declared accessories (mobile holder, LED kit, alloy wheel upgrades), or nominee changes. Always endorse any accessories fitted to your Jupiter after purchase to ensure they are covered in a claim — undeclared accessories risk partial or full claim rejection.
PA Cover (Personal Accident)
Mandatory Rs. 15 lakh cover for the owner-rider against accidental death or permanent total disability, required by IRDAI for all two-wheeler policies since January 2019. It is a standalone cover issued separately from the main Jupiter insurance policy and must be renewed independently each year. If you already hold a standalone PA policy of Rs. 15 lakh or more, you may opt out of the bundled PA cover and save on premium.
Important IRDAI Rules to TVS Jupiter Insurance
Third-party insurance is mandatory for all two-wheelers ridden on public roads in India under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988
New two-wheelers are generally sold with a mandatory long-term 5-year third-party insurance cover at the time of purchase
Owner-driver Personal Accident (PA) cover of Rs. 15 lakh is mandatory unless the rider already holds an eligible standalone PA policy of equivalent or higher value
Standalone Own Damage (OD) policies can be purchased separately from third-party insurance since IRDAI's September 2019 regulatory change, giving Jupiter owners flexibility to choose different insurers for TP and OD cover
NCB benefits are transferable between insurers and are typically retained for up to 90 days after policy expiry, subject to insurer rules
Summing Up,
For the TVS Jupiter — India's second best-selling family scooter with a proven 113.3cc fuel-injected engine and a daily urban commuter profile — comprehensive insurance with Zero Depreciation and Engine and Gearbox Protection is the most sensible cover combination. Given the Jupiter's daily use on city roads, monsoon-prone urban environments, and its popularity making it a theft target, these add-ons provide the most practical protection at a premium that remains minimal for this price bracket. Add Roadside Assistance if you rely on the Jupiter for critical daily commuting and cannot afford unexpected downtime. Compare and buy on smcinsurance.com for the best available rates across 20+ insurers.

Quick Response
I thought let me renew my two wheeler policy with SMC and see the experience. The experience was good and simple, the only gap which I felt was that the details of the vehicle did not come up after mentioning the vehicle number.
The most affordable legally valid option is a standalone third-party policy. The annual TP premium for the Jupiter's 75cc–150cc bracket is Rs. 714 (excluding GST) as per the current IRDAI-notified rate — one of the lowest in the two-wheeler segment. However, it provides zero protection for your Jupiter itself against accident damage, theft, or flood. Given the scooter's daily use for family commuting, comprehensive insurance is strongly recommended for complete financial protection at a premium that remains affordable for this segment.
IDV (Insured Declared Value) is the current market value of your TVS Jupiter, calculated by the insurer as the ex-showroom price minus IRDAI depreciation based on the scooter's age. For a new Jupiter, IDV ranges from approximately Rs. 73,550 to Rs. 89,050 depending on variant. IDV is the maximum amount paid in case of theft or total loss — never under-declare it to save on premium, as a lower IDV directly reduces your payout when you need it most.
Yes. Comprehensive insurance is available for older TVS Jupiter scooters, though the IDV will reflect the current depreciated market value and Zero Depreciation may not be available after 5 years. Third-party insurance remains mandatory regardless of the scooter's age. Compare options to find the best plan for your specific Jupiter year and variant.
Yes. Zone A metro cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, and Ahmedabad — attract higher premiums than Zone B cities due to elevated accident frequency and theft rates. The Jupiter is a popular commuter in dense urban environments, making city-specific comparisons useful for finding the best rate at your location.
Vehicle age does not affect your right to file or receive a claim — each Jupiter claim is assessed on its own merits, circumstances, and documentation. However, age affects the depreciation applied to replaced parts during settlement, reducing the net payout on older scooters. Older Jupiter scooters attract higher depreciation on plastic, rubber, and metal components, which reduces the settlement amount. The Zero Depreciation add-on eliminates these deductions for scooters under 5 years old.
Yes, especially for Jupiters under 5 years old and ridden daily in city traffic. The Jupiter's body panels, LED DRL housing, indicators, and mirrors are vulnerable to minor scrapes during everyday commuting. Standard claims apply 50% depreciation on plastic parts, which can meaningfully reduce the net payout even on relatively minor repairs. Zero Dep ensures full replacement cost is covered — and the add-on premium on a 113.3cc scooter is very modest.
An expired policy means your Jupiter is uninsured and illegal to ride on public roads, exposing you to fines and full financial liability for any accident. If the policy lapses beyond 90 days, you will likely forfeit accumulated NCB and may need a physical inspection before comprehensive cover is reinstated. Always renew at least 2 weeks before expiry to avoid any gap in coverage.
Yes. The insurance policy transfers to the new owner via an endorsement reflecting the ownership change, typically within 14 days of the RC transfer. As the seller, your NCB stays with you and can be carried forward to a new policy within 90 days via an NCB Retention Letter from your insurer. The new Jupiter owner starts fresh with no NCB.
The IRDAI-notified annual TP rate for the Jupiter's 75cc–150cc bracket is Rs. 714 (excluding GST) — one of the most affordable TP slabs in two-wheeler insurance. For comprehensive cover, the total premium depends on your scooter's IDV, city of registration, add-ons, and NCB.
Yes. Newer Jupiter variants with higher ex-showroom prices carry a higher IDV, which increases the OD component of the comprehensive premium. The 2024-generation Jupiter SmartXonnect Disc with its updated 113.3cc engine, LED lighting, and connectivity features commands a higher IDV than older base variants. However, newer models also benefit from a higher payout in theft or total loss scenarios, making the slightly higher premium proportionate.
Yes. Comprehensive cover is available for older Jupiter scooters, though Zero Depreciation may not be offered after 5 years by all insurers. IDV will reflect the current depreciated market value, and the overall premium will be lower. Compare available options to find the best plan for your specific older Jupiter.
Yes, but all modifications must be declared to the insurer at policy purchase or renewal. Undeclared modifications — including aftermarket exhausts, custom panels, or additional electrical accessories — can lead to claim rejection. Any accessories fitted to the Jupiter after purchase should be specifically endorsed on the policy, with an additional premium assessed based on their declared value.
Yes. A valid Indian motor insurance policy provides pan-India coverage across all states and union territories. Third-party claims can be filed regardless of the state where the incident occurred, and cashless repair support is accessible through a wide network of authorized garages across the country. Coverage excludes only incidents occurring outside India's borders.
Inform your insurer or the SMC helpline within 24–48 hours of the incident. Photograph all visible damage to Jupiter and preserve the scooter as-is until the surveyor inspects it. File an FIR if a third party is injured or if the scooter is stolen. Submit required documents and choose cashless repair at a network garage or reimbursement after paying yourself — SMC's claims team is available to guide you through every step.
Cashless claims at network garages are typically settled within 3–7 working days from surveyor approval. Reimbursement claims take 7–15 working days after complete documentation is submitted. Theft claims may take 30–90 days pending police investigation and a Non-Traceable Certificate. Straightforward own-damage claims at authorised TVS service centres within the insurer's network are generally resolved within a week.
For cashless claims, the Jupiter must go to a network garage within the insurer's authorised list — which includes most authorised TVS dealerships. For reimbursement claims, you can use any garage of your choice, pay upfront, and submit original bills to the insurer. SMC Insurance provides access to 5,000+ network garages and can help you locate the nearest one in your city.
Delayed intimation beyond the 24–48 hour window specified in your policy can lead to claim rejection or a reduced settlement. Inform your insurer as soon as possible after any incident involving your Jupiter. If you are hospitalized or otherwise unable to act, a family member can file the intimation. Save the SMC helpline number before every ride for quick access when needed.
Yes. Under comprehensive insurance, own damage to your Jupiter is covered regardless of fault. You can simultaneously file a third-party claim against the at-fault vehicle's insurer. Third-party property damage is covered up to Rs. 7.5 lakh. Filing through your own comprehensive policy is generally the faster route to getting your Jupiter repaired and back on the road.
No. An FIR is mandatory only for theft, total loss, and third-party bodily injury or death claims. For minor own-damage incidents — a parking scrape or a tip-over — an FIR is generally not required, though a General Diary (GD) entry may be needed by some insurers. Always verify your specific policy terms and file promptly when an FIR is required.
Yes, at minimum for mandatory third-party insurance. For older Jupiters where the IDV is low, comprehensive premiums are also minimal — making it cost-effective to maintain full cover. The Jupiter holds reasonable second-hand value in India's used scooter market, making theft protection worthwhile even on older bikes. SMC Insurance can help compare options for your specific older Jupiter.
Standard comprehensive policies exclude hydrostatic lock — engine damage caused by water ingress while riding through flooded roads. The Jupiter's air-cooled 113.3cc engine is vulnerable if water enters the intake during monsoon waterlogging in cities like Chennai, Mumbai, or Bengaluru. The Engine and Gearbox Protection add-on specifically covers this scenario and is strongly recommended for Jupiter owners who commute through flood-prone areas during the monsoon season.
External flood damage — to the body, electricals, instrument cluster, and frame of your Jupiter — is covered under a standard comprehensive policy as a natural calamity. However, internal engine damage from water ingress (hydrostatic lock) requires the Engine and Gearbox Protection add-on. Both types of damage are common during Chennai and Mumbai monsoon seasons, making comprehensive cover with the engine add-on the advisable combination for Jupiter commuters in these cities.
No. Standard comprehensive insurance for private use covers the Jupiter for all normal daily commuting, family errands, and leisure trips across India. Coverage excludes only commercial use — delivery, hire, or rental. All daily commuting incidents are fully within the scope of a standard private-use policy, making comprehensive insurance the ideal choice for a scooter used this way.
Yes. Use your Jupiter's registration number on smcinsurance.com to retrieve renewal quotes without the original policy document. Your policy details are also accessible via VAHAN or DigiLocker using your RC number. If switching insurers at renewal, obtain your NCB Retention Letter from your current insurer before purchasing the new policy to carry forward your accumulated discount.
