Digboi is a small town located in the Tinsukia district of the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It is known for being the birthplace of the oil industry in India. Digboi has a rich history of oil exploration and production, dating back to the late 19th century, when British engineers discovered oil reserves in the area.
The Digboi Refinery, which was set up in 1901, is the oldest operating oil refinery in India and one of the oldest in the world. It played a vital role in meeting the energy needs of India during the pre-independence era and continues to be an important contributor to the country’s energy sector.
Apart from the oil industry, Digboi is also known for its natural beauty and wildlife. The town is located close to the Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to several rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. Visitors can enjoy trekking, birdwatching, and wildlife safaris in the sanctuary.
Digboi is also known for its golf course, which is one of the oldest in Asia. The course was established in the early 20th century and has hosted several national and international golf tournaments.
