The country's largest lender, State Bank of India (SBI), raised the Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) by 70 basis points (or 0.7%) to 13.45% on Wednesday.
The announcement would make loan repayment linked to BPLR costlier. The current BPLR rate is 12.75%. It was revised last in June.
"Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) revised as 13.45% per annum with effect from September 15, 2022," the SBI posted on its website.
