HDFC Bank Lowers MCLR Rates by Up to 10 Basis Points Across Tenures
HDFC Bank has reduced its Marginal Cost of Funds-based Lending Rates (MCLR) by 5 to 10 basis points across select tenures, effective September 7, 2026. The revised rates now range from 7.90% to 8.60%, down from 8.00% to 8.65%. Borrowers with loans linked to MCLR may benefit when their interest rates reset, though immediate changes to EMIs depend on individual loan terms. The cuts reflect surplus liquidity in the banking system and may encourage more competitive lending.
