Abstract
The researcher in this paper has looked into the general insurance industry in India opening up of the sector to the private players in 2000. The objective of the study is to determine the total factor productivity growth in the general insurance industry in India. The study is based on the analysis of data covering twelve general insurers (including four from the public sector) for the period 2004-05 to 2011-12. For the purpose of growth assessment, Malmquist Index is computed that is composed of two components: Technical progress and technological progress. From the study, it is observed that a high level of inconsistency exists in the industry. The overall growth during the study period has been minimal. The technological change shows a negative growth in the case of all the insurers. Whatever growth is observed is due to the efficiency improvement, thereby implying movement towards the frontier.
