Light Diesel Oil is basically a blend of distillate fuel and residual oil. LDO is mainly used in low and medium-speed diesel engines and industrial burners. It is a type of middle distillate with a viscosity considerably lower than that of heavy fuel oils and is easier to pump, handle, and atomize. LDO is a commonly used fuel in industries for heating and power generation and for use in boilers and furnaces. It burns efficiently and produces stable flame characteristics with moderate emission. LDO available in bulk and barrel has BIS compliance as per IS 1460:2017 and is available in commercial and industrial markets.
