RBI rate cut effect: SBI gives big relief to borrowers; slashes interest rates by up to 50 bps
SBI
The State Bank of India (SBI), country's largest lender, slashed its lending rates by 50 basis points, bringing much-needed relief to both existing and new borrowers.
With this revision, SBI's repo linked lending rate (RLLR) now stands at 7.75 per cent, while its external benchmark based lending rate (EBLR) dropped to 8.15 per cent from 8.65 per cent.
Both changes came into effect from June 15, 2025.
Besides these, SBI also lowered interest rates on fixed deposits by 25 basis points across various maturities for amounts up to Rs 3 crore. The revised deposit rates also take effect from June 15.
Under the new structure, interest on 1-2 year term deposits has been cut by 25 basis points to 6.50 per cent, while 2-3 year deposits will now fetch 6.45 per cent. FDs with a maturity of 3-5 years have been revised to 6.30 per cent, and those of 5-10 years will offer 6.05 per cent.
Even the bank's special '444-day' Amrit Vrishti scheme has seen a rate cut from 6.85 per cent to 6.60 per cent.
Senior citizens will continue to enjoy an additional 50 basis points over the card rate, while super senior citizens get an extra 60 basis points.
The rate changes mark a significant step by SBI to align with the RBI's growth-supportive stance, even as it balances borrower benefit and depositor expectations.

With this cut, the apex bank aimed to revive economic growth, which slipped to 6.5 per cent in FY25.

The park will house units for manufacturing electric motors, chassis, steel parts, and lithium-ion cells. Live Events Facilities for assembling lithium-ion batteries, chargers, controllers, and electronic components will also be established, according to the statement. A dedicated research and development (R&D) centre will be a vital part of the project, driving innovation and facilitating advanced product development. This R&D unit is expected to contribute not only to local progress but also to the global advancement of EV technologies, it added. The government believes the establishment of the EV park will not only position Kanpur as an EV manufacturing hub, but will also significantly boost the state's economy. "Alongside the park, an integrated EV components cluster is being developed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in producing parts and components. This will create fresh opportunities for local entrepreneurs, startups, and generate substantial employment," it said. Its proximity to the dedicated freight corridor gives the park a strategic advantage in terms of logistics and connectivity. Well-connected by rail and road networks, it will facilitate smooth transportation of raw materials and finished goods, the statement added.
