Abstract: Abstract The present study explored the efficiency-solvency linkage in the context of the Indian general insurance sector through a two stage analysis. In the first stage, a robust bootstrap approach is followed for the estimation of technical efficiency scores of 16 in-sample public and private sector general insurance companies. In the second stage, the impact of solvency on the efficiency of the insurers has been considered via truncated regression. The results point out a statistically significant relationship between input/output oriented efficiency and solvency ratio.
