Bank of Baroda Share Price Steady as Bank Reviews MCLR, Rates Remain Unchanged

Bank of Baroda has announced a revision in its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR), which will take effect from 12 March 2026. The update follows the bank’s routine review of its lending benchmark rates. According to the disclosure made to stock exchanges, the revised structure keeps all existing MCLR rates unchanged across different tenors.

Bank Reviews MCLR Benchmark Rates

Bank of Baroda informed stock exchanges that it has completed a review of its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR). The revised rates will be applicable from 12 March 2026.

The disclosure was made in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. MCLR serves as the internal benchmark used by banks to determine interest rates on several categories of loans.

MCLR Rates Across Tenors

Following the review, the bank decided to keep all MCLR rates unchanged across various tenors.

• Overnight MCLR: 7.80%
• One-month MCLR: 7.90%
• Three-month MCLR: 8.15%
• Six-month MCLR: 8.45%
• One-year MCLR: 8.70%

The one-year MCLR remains particularly significant as it is commonly used as the benchmark for several retail lending products, including home loans.

Importance of MCLR for Borrowers

MCLR represents the minimum lending rate below which banks generally cannot lend, except in certain circumstances permitted by the regulator. Changes in MCLR can influence borrowing costs for individuals and businesses.

Since the latest review leaves rates unchanged, borrowers with loans linked to the bank’s MCLR are unlikely to see an immediate change in their interest rates, depending on their loan reset dates.
