CARE Ratings has assigned a 'CARE AAA; Stable' rating to Bank of Baroda's Green Infrastructure Bonds worth ₹10,000 crore and reaffirmed the existing ratings on 25 Feb 2026. The ratings reaffirmation factors in the majority ownership and expected support from the Government of India, the bank's established franchise with a pan-India branch network, and comfortable capitalization levels. CARE Ratings has also withdrawn ratings of ‘CARE AAA; Stable’ assigned to the Tier -II Bond (ISIN: INE705A08078) with immediate effect due to redemption of the bonds on the due date.
Ratings also favourably factor in the bank’s established franchise with a pan -India branch network , which helps it garner deposits at competitive rates and sizeable international presence (~17% of total advances as on March 31, 2025), providing diversification in the advances profile. Ratings continue to derive strength from the bank’s comfortable capitalisation levels , which support the bank fund its credit growth in near future. Going forward, CARE Ratings Limited (CareEdge Ratings) expects the bank’s advances to grow in line with the industry.
CareEdge Ratings expects the bank’s net interest margin (NIM) to witness some pressure in FY26, considering faster repricing of advances than deposits, which would result in a moderation in profitability for the bank in the near term.
