Center-Right Owned by HT Media Ltd.FD interest rates after RBI repo rate hike, Nov 2026: Public or private? Which banks give highest fixed deposit returns?
What's behind this
The revised FD rates of a government bank took effect on 2 November, after the RBI’s repo rate hike, and are expected to help depositors who lock in savings at higher rates. However, SBI Research warns that rising US government borrowings could keep global interest rates high, projecting India’s government bond yield to stay at 7 pc by March 2027, suggesting loans may not become cheaper soon. Earlier related coverage noted Australia raising rates, but that is background only.

Looking ahead, we can be almost certain of additional increases in repo rates and the consequent hikes in cost of loans. We should factor in the uncertainties while making decisions around our future financial commitments.
