Abstract: Abstract This chapter has analysed the revenue efficiencies of Indian non-life insurance companies in the post-liberalised regime using the new cost-based non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) model proposed by Tone (J Oper Res Soc 53(2002):1225–1231, 2002) for both scale assumptions of constant and variable returns to scale. We have formulated three inputs and two outputs model for an analysis of 12 Indian non-life insurance companies over the period of 2005–2006 to 2009–2010. The overall revenue efficiency for the life insurance sector is 86 and 96.4 % under constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) assumptions, respectively. This implies that there is a scope of 14 and 3.6 % improvement of revenue under both the assumptions, respectively.
