The company’s consolidated net profit jumped 69.9% year-over-year to Rs. 145.2 crore in Q4, while annual profit surged 65.7% to Rs. 539.6 crore. Total revenue for FY25 reached Rs. 2,193.3 crore, up 30.8% from the previous year. Backed by operational efficiency and market expansion, BLS has reinforced its standing as a key global player in citizen service outsourcing.
Q4 Surge Reflects Strong Operational Momentum
In the March quarter, BLS International recorded a consolidated net profit of Rs. 145.2 crore, representing a significant 69.9% increase from Rs. 85.5 crore during the same period last year. This growth was underpinned by heightened demand for international travel-related services as global mobility rebounded in the post-pandemic environment.
Quarterly revenue reached Rs. 692.8 crore, a year-on-year rise of 54.74% from Rs. 447.71 crore. This strong topline performance highlighted the company’s ability to scale operations rapidly in response to increased visa processing volumes and expanding digital service adoption.
Full-Year Performance Underscores Strategic Growth
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, BLS International delivered an impressive consolidated net profit of Rs. 539.6 crore, up 65.7% from Rs. 325.6 crore in the previous year. The firm’s total revenue grew to Rs. 2,193.3 crore, marking a 30.8% increase over Rs. 1,676.81 crore in FY24.
This outstanding growth reflects the company’s success in tapping into both traditional and emerging markets for citizen services. It also underscores the strength of its operational backbone, including global consular partnerships and digitized processing frameworks that drive high-efficiency outcomes.
Margin Expansion and Operational Efficiency
EBITDA for FY25 rose to Rs. 629.3 crore, representing an 82.1% increase from the previous year. Importantly, the company achieved a substantial margin expansion of 808 basis points, lifting the EBITDA margin to 28.7%.
According to Shikhar Aggarwal, Joint Managing Director at BLS International, this performance was anchored in both the core Visa & Consular segment and the burgeoning Digital Services division. The firm’s strategic initiatives aimed at boosting scalability and deepening market penetration have begun to yield tangible returns, contributing meaningfully to the margin growth.
Strategic Initiatives Drive Long-Term Value
BLS International undertook several key initiatives throughout the fiscal year to reinforce its market leadership. These efforts focused on optimizing operational processes, enhancing customer experience, and expanding into new geographies with high growth potential.
Aggarwal emphasized that these initiatives are central to the company's long-term vision of sustainable growth and stakeholder value creation. The proactive investments in infrastructure, digital platforms, and partnership ecosystems are expected to provide a resilient foundation for continued momentum in FY26 and beyond.
Outlook: Riding the Wave of Global Mobility
With international travel rebounding and governments increasingly outsourcing visa and consular services, BLS International stands at the intersection of public-sector outsourcing and private-sector innovation. Its FY25 results not only reflect short-term recovery trends but also a strategic recalibration toward long-term scalability and efficiency.
As geopolitical conditions stabilize and cross-border movement normalizes, BLS International’s strong brand reputation, operational agility, and commitment to innovation position it well to capture further market share across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Final Thought
BLS International’s exceptional FY25 performance signals more than just a post-pandemic recovery—it marks the emergence of a digitally-enabled, globally integrated service provider that is well-prepared to lead in a world increasingly reliant on seamless, outsourced citizen services.
