Bank of Baroda Targets 10% Corporate Loan Growth in FY27 with Rs 50,000 Crore Pipeline

State-owned Bank of Baroda aims to grow its Rs 4.56 lakh crore corporate loan book by 10% in FY27, with a current loan pipeline of Rs 50,000 crore. Nearly two-thirds of proposals are for term loans, and the rest for working capital, indicating steady investment demand. The bank sees strong interest from renewable power, steel, and cement sectors. It plans to realign its portfolio to external benchmark-based lending rates to maintain net interest margins between 2.75-2.95%. Funding beyond deposits will continue to support liabilities, with a comfortable credit-deposit ratio of 81-83%.
