Method of producing grain-oriented electrical steel sheet

A method of producing a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, the method comprising:

• hot rolling a silicon-containing steel slab;
• then cold rolling once or two or more times with intermediate annealing;
• then decarburization annealing;
• then applying an annealing separator;
• then winding into a coil;
• then final annealing;
• then flattening annealing, wherein
• before the final annealing, local strain with an indentation amount from the steel sheet surface of 5 μm to 30 μm is applied to a linear region that, when coiled and the coil is charged into a final annealing furnace, is separated from the axial end of the coil that comes into contact with a coil receiving base of the final annealing furnace by 5 mm or more and 20 mm or less in the axial direction of the coil and that extends continuously or discontinuously in a direction that intersects the axial direction, in order to produce crystal grains having a misorientation angle of 15° or more from Goss orientation grains along 50% or more of the total length of the linear region.
