HDFC drops interest rates on housing loans to 10.25%
13 Nov 2002
As in the past, HDFC has ensured that reduction in the cost of its resources translates into a benefit in terms of lower costs for the customer. HDFC continues to manage its liabilities and reprice its debts in line with the lower interest rate regime.
Through its active treasury management, HDFC has been able to achieve a cost of borrowing, which is significantly lower compared to the other corporates in both international and domestic markets.
On 1 November 2002, for the third time during the current financial year, HDFC reduced its retail deposit rates by 0.25 to 0.30 per cent on varying maturities. HDFC has effected a 275 basis points reduction in its deposit rates since April 2001.
In line with the reduced costs of funding and HDFC's endeavour to continue to make housing loans more affordable, HDFC has reduced interest rates on all its loan products like home loans, NRI housing loans, home extension, home improvement, home equity, short-term bridging loans and non-residential premises loans to professionals.
The revised rates are as follows:
