RBI may effect cumulative rate cut of 125-150 bps in FY26, says SBI study

The Reserve Bank may cumulatively cut the key interest rate in the range of 125-150 basis points this fiscal amid benign inflationary patterns, an SBI Research report said on Monday. The study suggested that the central bank should go for "jumbo" rate cuts of 50 bps as it would be more effective. The sharp moderation in consumer price index based inflation, hitting a 67-month low of 3.34 per cent in March 2025 due to sharp correction in food inflation, bodes well for lowering the average CPI headline forecast for FY2025-26 below 4 per cent now (with below 3 pre cent in Q1FY26), the report said. The nominal GDP growth is expected to be in the range of 9-9.5 per cent for FY2025-26 (Budget: 10 per cent), signifying a Goldilocks period to slash the policy rates given the low growth and low inflation, said the research report from the State Bank of India's Economic Research Department titled 'Inflation and Rate Cut Trajectory'. "With multi-year low inflation in March and benign inflatio

Will ensure RoA over 1% in FY26 despite margin pressure: SBI Chairman

The State Bank of India (SBI) will ensure return on assets (RoA) of over 1 per cent during the current financial year despite the challenge of declining rate cycle, the bank's Chairman C S Setty said. RoA is a profitability ratio that shows how much profit a company would generate from its assets. There would be further repo rate cuts during the year that would put pressure on net interest margin, he said, adding that there would be realignment of rates on the deposit side because without that effective monetary transmission will not happen. "We will ensure that the readjustment of interest rates on the deposits are aligned broadly with repo rate cuts so that margins are protected," he said while addressing analysts after announcing the SBI's quarterly numbers. "We still will be able to maintain 1 per cent RoA guidance for the current financial year... our goal is to consistently achieve an RoE of over 15 per cent through the business cycles," he said. RoA of the bank improved fro

SBI cuts lending rates by 25 bps after RBI's move; loans to get cheaper

The country's largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has reduced its lending rate by 25 basis points following the Reserve Bank's policy rate cut, making loans cheaper for both existing and new borrowers.. With the latest round of reduction, the Repo Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) of SBI would come down by 25 basis points to 8.25 per cent.

Besides, the bank also cut deposit rates by 10-25 basis points, which will again be effective from April 15.
