Ridging caused when handling steel containing a large amount of alloying elements such as Si and Al in a low-speed hot rolling process is suppressed. A method of producing a hot-rolled steel sheet for a non-oriented electrical steel sheet comprises: producing a steel slab having a certain chemical composition and a thickness of 50 mm to 200 mm by continuous casting; conveying the steel slab to a hot rolling line while maintaining a surface temperature of the steel slab at 800° C. or more; and performing hot rolling in which the steel slab is sequentially subjected to rough rolling, reheating treatment, and finish rolling in the hot rolling line to obtain a hot-rolled steel sheet, wherein the hot rolling is performed under specific conditions.
