HDFC Bank Lowers MCLR by 5 Bps; Bank of Baroda Raises 3-Month Rate by 10 Bps
HDFC Bank has reduced its marginal cost of funds based lending rate (MCLR) by five basis points across various maturities, effective August 7. In contrast, Bank of Baroda will increase its three-month MCLR by ten basis points starting August 12, while keeping other tenors unchanged. These adjustments reflect monthly changes in lending rates based on banks' marginal cost of funds, following the Reserve Bank of India's recent decision to maintain the policy repo rate at 5.25%.
