In short

IGL and Northern Railway signed an agreement to switch to PNG at 22 locations. The summary says the plan will supply about 3,000 SCMD of gas and replace about 500 kg of LPG and 2,500 litres of diesel each day.

This matters because it changes fuel use for the railway sites and could cut LPG and diesel demand. The reporting does not say when the switch begins or how quickly it will expand.
