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.
A Direct-On-Line (DOL) starter is an electronic 3-phase motor-control system which offers soft starts in DELTA configuration. DOL starters are now replacing the use of manual or semi-automatic "star-delta" starters.In this way of starting a 3-phase motor, full line voltages are applied to the motor through relays and contactors. The DOL is nowadays the most common type of 3-phase motor starter used.It has a "closing circuit" and an "opening circuit". The closing circuit is for applying the service lines to the motor and the opening - or "tripping" - circuit protects the motor by cutting-off (or "tripping") power to the motor from the service lines if there is any overload condition, a single phasing fault, etc.For more information please see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
A direct on line starter, often abbreviated DOL starter, is a widely-used starting method of electric motors. The term is used in electrical engineering and associated with electric motors. There are many types of motor starters, the simplest of which is the DOL starter. A motor starter is an electrical/electronic circuit composed of electro-mechanical and electronic devices which are employed to start and stop an electric motor. Regardless of the motor type (AC or DC), the types of starters differ depending on the method of starting the motor. A DOL starter connects the motor terminals directly to the power supply. Hence, the motor is subjected to the full voltage of the power supply. Consequently, high starting current flows through the motor. This type of starting is suitable for small motors below 5 hp (3.75 kW). Reduced-voltage starters are employed with motors above 5 hp. Although DOL motor starters are available for motors less than 150 kW on 400 V and for motors less than 1 MW on 6.6 kV. Supply reliability and reserve power generation dictates the use of reduced voltage or not. A very well-known motor starter is the DOL Starter of a 3-Phase Squirrel-Cage Motor. This starter is sometimes used to start water pumps, compressors, fans and conveyor belts. With a 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase supply, the power circuit connects the motor to 400V. Consequently, the starting current may reach 3-8 times the normal current. The control circuit is typically run at 24V with the aid of a 400V/24V transformer
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.
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.

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.
