A DOL or direct on line starter works by connecting the motor terminals directly to the power supply when they are energized. A DOL starter is the simplest type of motor starter.

because of starting current of induction motor is very high and it damages the insulation of motor
it can not be use for heavy duty motors as well as it requires a high starting current.
As the name recommends, Direct-On-Line beginning implies that the Motor is started byassociating it straightforwardly to the supply at appraised voltage. DOL Motor Starter is reasonable for stable supplies and mechanically firm and very much dimensionedshaft frameworks.
The transition from star connection to delta connection requires that the current flow through the motor is interrupted. This is termed "Open Transition Switching" and with an induction motor operating at partial speed (or full load speed), there is a large current and torque transient produced at the point of reconnection. This transient is far worse than any produced by the DOL starter and can cause severe damage to equipment and the supply.
The answer is yes. I had seen 110kW pump start on DOL starter
DOL starters are used in industries in-spite of its disadvantages because it is the simplest form of a motor starter. A DOL starter consists of a MCCB or circuit breaker, contactor, and an overload relay that is used for protection.

There is a link below for the DOL starter circuit.
DOL or Direct On Line is used when referring to induction motor starters. The simplest and most common type of motor starter is the Direct On Line. Some examples where a DOL starter would be used can include water pumps, compressors, conveyor belts and fans. A DOL starter can only be used if the sudden inrush of the motor starting does not cause voltage to drop excessively in the supply circuit.

If the application is high starting torque, then go for star delta or soft starters. If not DOL will do.
for smooth operation and also to reduse starting current

Direct on line starter and Heavy direct on line starter...... in HDOL CT is fixed.
Yes up to certain rating and application a motor can be started on DOL. Beyond a rating different methods need to be used to limit the starting current.
