Northern Railway and IGL Agree to Supply Piped Natural Gas to 22 Delhi-NCR Facilities
Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) and Northern Railway have signed an agreement to supply piped natural gas (PNG) to 22 railway establishments across Delhi-NCR, replacing about 500 kg of LPG and 2,500 litres of diesel daily. The initial supply is estimated at 3,000 standard cubic metres per day, expected to rise to 8,000-10,000 SCMD as infrastructure expands. This initiative supports the government's PNG Drive 3.0 to promote natural gas use, reduce energy costs, and lower import dependence. Future plans include extending PNG to railway hospitals and residential colonies.
