Understanding Lending Rate — a simple guide
What it measures
The average rate banks charge on loans to the private sector.
How it is calculated
Average rate charged by banks on new loans to businesses and households.
A 9% lending rate means a ₹1 lakh loan costs about ₹9,000 a year in interest.
Higher rates make borrowing more expensive.
Lower rates make credit cheaper.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
Lending rates determine the cost of credit for businesses and households.
How to read it
The gap between lending and deposit rates (the spread) reflects banking-sector costs and risk.
