Mumbai: State-run lender Dena Bank today hiked its minimum lending rate or the base rate by 50 basis points to 10.70 percent.

It also increased interest rates on loans given under Benchmark Prime Lending Rate (BPLR) by a similar 50 basis points to 15.75 per cent, a bank statement said.

The rate hike comes eight days after the Reserve Bank raised its short term rates by a higher-than-expected 50 basis points in its quest to tame the uncomfortably high inflation. Many lenders, including Bank of India, Central Bank of India and HDFC have raised their rates following the RBI move.

Global banking giant HSBC also hiked its lending rates today to become the first foreign lender to raise its rates after the RBI''s quarterly credit policy announcement. Meanwhile, Dena Bank added it has raised interest rates on deposits by 50-150 basis points depending on their maturity level.
