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. Managing Director Debadatta Chand noted that about 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 energy, steel, and cement sectors. It plans to realign lending rates to improve net interest margins amid rising deposit costs and maintain a credit-deposit ratio around 81-83%. Funding beyond deposits will also be explored.
