Railways are ditching diesel to 'clean up' our stations—and the air we breathe.

Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) has partnered with Northern Railway's Delhi Division to replace LPG and diesel with piped natural gas (PNG) at 22 railway establishments across Delhi-NCR. The initial supply of 3,000 SCMD is expected to replace around 500 kg of LPG and 2,500 litres of diesel daily. The agreement is part of the government's PNG Drive 3.0.

Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) has partnered with the Delhi Division of Northern Railway to replace LPG and diesel consumption with piped natural gas (PNG) at 22 railway establishments across Delhi-NCR. The move is part of the company's efforts to expand natural gas adoption under the government's PNG Drive 3.0. Under the agreement, IGL will initially supply around 3,000 standard cubic metres of natural gas per day (SCMD). This is expected to replace the daily consumption of approximately 500 kg of LPG and 2,500 litres of diesel, the company said in a statement. The conversion will cover several railway facilities, including mechanised laundries, officers' rest houses, base kitchens, running rooms, subordinate rest houses, and guard and ticket examiner lobbies across Delhi, Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddha Nagar.
