Repeats to widen distribution By Nidhi Verma NEW DELHI, March 6 (Reuters) - India has asked all its refiners to maximise production of liquefied petroleum gas and make the fuel available only to three state-run companies - Indian Oil, HPCL and BPCL, a government order showed. Thursday's order also asked refiners not to use propane and butane for petrochemical production and ordered the public sector companies to sell LPG to domestic customers only. Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a combination of propane and butane. (Reporting by Nidhi Verma; Editing by Clarence Fernandez) ((Mohi.Narayan@thomsonreuters.com; https://twitter.com/_mohi_;))
