On July 20, 2026, Dr. Debadatta Chand addressed Bank of Baroda's 119th Foundation Day celebration, which was held under the theme "Leading with Trust." He stated that the bank should continue to "justify that trust through every decision we make, every customer we serve, every innovation we introduce, every promise we keep," and called for the bank to "innovate with responsibility, serve with humility, and lead the trust with one purpose, one team, one goal, one bank, striving for a billion dreams." The event included a tribute to the bank's founder, Maharaja Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III, and the launch of an initiative with global brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. In a June 9, 2026 interview, Chand said he expected inflows of "upward of 4 to 5 billion" dollars through bonds, borrowings, and FCNR(B) deposits, attributing the anticipated flows to recent Reserve Bank of India measures. He stated that the bank's guidance for net interest margins remained in the 2.75 to 2.95 percent range and that he did not see "any elevated stress" in the bank's loan book compared to the previous quarter. Chand noted that the June quarter was likely to show better treasury income than the March quarter, though he added that the final outcome would depend on the June closing.
