Light Diesel Oil is a middle-distillate petroleum product, lighter than Furnace Oil but heavier than High-Speed Diesel. It is widely used in industrial burners, irrigation pump sets, and stationary diesel engines operating under the IS 15770 specification. LDO offers a cost-effective alternative to HSD where engine speed requirements allow.
