Bank Of India Raises Repo-Linked Lending Rate After RBI Hike — What You Should Know

RBI moved higher.

7 Oct 2026 · NDTV Profit

Bank of India raised repo based lending rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% and effective repo based lending rate from 8.10% to 8.35%, while mark up rate remains the same at 2.85%.

RBI reported movement of 5.50%, 8.10% and 8.35%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • With RBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
