BLS E-Services Rockets Past ₹500 Cr Revenue, Declares Dividend

New Delhi – BLS E-Services Limited (BLSe), a rapidly expanding technology-enabled digital service provider, is celebrating a landmark year, announcing audited consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, that showcase impressive growth and a significant milestone: surpassing the ₹500 crore revenue mark.

The company reported a robust 76.0% year-on-year surge in Total Income, reaching ₹545.0 crore for FY25. This exceptional performance was complemented by a 75.4% increase in Profit After Tax (PAT), which hit ₹58.8 crore. In a further testament to its success and commitment to shareholders, BLSe also declared its maiden dividend of ₹1 per share.

A Year of Unprecedented Growth

“We are delighted to report a remarkable performance in FY25, as we achieved several milestones during the fiscal year,” stated Mr. Shikhar Aggarwal, Chairman, BLS E-Services Ltd. “FY25 marked our highest-ever financial performance, as we surpassed the ₹500 Crore milestone in Total Income, which was reported at ₹545 Crores, a notable YoY growth of 76%.”

This significant top-line growth was boosted by the successful consolidation of Aadifidelis Solutions Pvt Ltd (ASPL), acquired in November 2024. The benefits of this strategic acquisition are evident in the financial figures, with EBITDA witnessing a robust growth of 72.5% to ₹86.1 crore and PAT growing by an impressive 75.4%.

Driving Digital Inclusion and Future Opportunities

BLSe’s growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s deeply rooted in its mission to enhance digital infrastructure and extend critical services to underserved communities. Mr. Aggarwal highlighted the company’s strategic vision: “As we move forward, our strategic focus is on enhancing digital infrastructure to improve accessibility and penetrate new market segments.”

The company is strategically positioned to capitalize on the increasing trend of government outsourcing G2C (Government-to-Citizen) services to third parties. This shift is driven by the growing need for scalability, cost-efficiency, and crucial last-mile connectivity, particularly in rural areas. “The Indian Government is focused on expanding financial inclusion through schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Direct Benefit Transfer, and others,” Mr. Aggarwal added, emphasizing BLSe’s role in this national endeavor. “We believe we are aptly positioned to capture the significant opportunities in the industry and are dedicated to providing technology-enabled services for the underserved rural communities at the grassroot levels in the country.”
