IGL to supply PNG to 22 Northern Railway sites in Delhi-NCR
In short
Indraprastha Gas Ltd signed a deal with the Delhi Division of Northern Railway to supply piped natural gas to 22 railway sites in Delhi-NCR. The first supply will be about 3,000 standard cubic metres a day, replacing around 500 kg of LPG and 2,500 litres of diesel daily.
This could cut fuel use at railway facilities and support cleaner energy use. The reporting does not say when the full conversion will finish or how much it will cost.
