HDFC hikes home loan interest rates by 35 bps

The move follows a 35-bps repo rate hike by the RBI earlier this month.

Private lender HDFC has increased its retail prime lending rate (RPLR) by 35 basis points with effect from December 20, 2022. With the latest hike HDFC customers, new as well as existing, will have to pay 8.65% interest on home loans.

The non-banking finance company’s best rates are available only for applicants with credit score of 800 and above. Borrowers with a credit score below this cutoff will have to pay anywhere between 8.95% and 9.30% interest on home loans.

The move by India’s largest NBFC follows a 35-basis point increase in the repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India on December 7, 2022. Since May this year, India’s apex bank has increased the repo rate by a cumulative 225 basis points as it amps up efforts to tame stubbornly high inflation.

Following the RBI move, several lenders, including SBI and ICICI Bank, have increased their lending rates to align them with the repo rate hike.
