RBI rate hike to raise home, car loan borrowing costs
The Reserve Bank of India increased its policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% on Wednesday. Borrowers might face higher monthly installments or extended repayment periods based on loan agreements. The monetary policy committee unanimously adopted a stance of 'calibrated tightening' with future increases possible. External benchmark-linked loans make up 68.2% of outstanding floating-rate rupee loans as of June.
