Barclays plans to expand its high street presence by opening new branches and enlarging existing sites, reversing years of closures, UK CEO Vim Maru told The Times. The bank currently operates 206 branches after closing nearly 80% of its network since 2019. Maru said the expansion aims to combine digital services with in-person assistance, targeting personal customers and newer businesses. He emphasised differentiating from app-based rivals like Revolut by offering human support alongside digital capabilities. The bank is also reintroducing the "bank manager" job title and applying AI to internal processes. Barclays recorded peak mortgage applications last year and has reduced application times from 45 to 15 minutes. Maru said organic growth remains the priority over acquisitions.
Ashok Leyland's promoter group has pledged 106.5 crore equity shares, representing 18.13% of the company's total paid-up share capital, to secure a $1.445 billion margin loan facility. The pledge was disclosed by Catalyst Trusteeship Limited on 27 March 2026. The loan facility has been provided by a consortium of global banks including J.P. Morgan, Barclays, Citibank and Deutsche Bank to four co-borrowers: QH Hungary Holdings Limited, IndusInd International Holdings Limited, IndusInd Limited and Hinduja Automotive Limited. Hinduja Automotive Limited, which currently holds 203.9 crore Ashok Leyland shares, pledged nearly half its holding to secure the facility. The pledged shares could require additional collateral if Ashok Leyland's stock price fluctuates significantly.
