Indian Railways to replace LPG with PNG in crew rooms to cut costs amid West Asia crisis

A gas shift meant to avoid LPG supply headaches

Indian Railways is planning to switch from LPG to piped natural gas (PNG) in crew resting rooms. The move aims to reduce LPG dependence and ease logistical challenges as supply conditions tighten amid the West Asia crisis. By adopting PNG, Railways expects more streamlined fuel management for facilities that require reliable heating and cooking support.
