Ledo is primarily known for its coal mining history and railway connection. It is a town in Assam. While the region around Assam is rich in oil, Ledo itself is not identified as a major oil field. Naharkatiya and Kalol are significant oil fields in Assam and Gujarat, respectively. Ankleshwar is also a prominent oil field in Gujarat.
