The aim of this paper is to study major determinants of long-term investment of the non-life insurance industry of India. The annual financial statements of nineteen non-life insurance companies covering a period of 5 years (2011-2015) were sampled and analyzed through panel regression. The findings indicate that, as expected, highly liquid, highly profitable and large size insurance companies have invested more in long term than lowly liquid, lowly profitable and small size companies. The researcher also find that insurance companies with higher risk retention ratio and higher leveraged ratio have invested less in long term than insurance companies with lower risk retention ratio and lower leveraged ratio.
