This marks ICRA's first credit assessment of the Company. Notably, the assigned grades are one notch above BLS International's existing CRISIL ratings on both the long-term and short-term scales. The long- term rating of ICRA AA-(Stable) is one notch above the Company's current CRISIL A+ (Stable), while the short-term rating of ICRA A1+ (the highest short-term credit rating on the scale) is one notch above its current CRISIL A1. The higher initial assessment from a one of the leading credit rating agency further reinforces the strength and consistency of the Company's credit profile. The assigned ratings cover a proposed long-term- Term Loan and fund-based limits totalling Rs. 44 crore, rated ICRA AA-(Stable), along with non-fund-based limits of Rs. 256 crore, rated ICRA A1+. Key Drivers Recognised by ICRA In its rating rationale, ICRA highlighted several factors underpinning the assigned ratings, including:  Strong competitive position in a high-entry-barrier global industry — A presence across more than 100 countries, long-standing relationships with over 46 government clients, and a proven execution track record in the outsourced government services sector.  Robust growth trajectory — Operating income increased from Rs. 850 crore in FY2022 to Rs. 2,998 crore in FY2026, representing a CAGR of approximately 37%. Growth was driven by rising visa application volumes, increased monetisation through value-added services, expansion of the digital services segment, and contributions from strategic acquisitions  Healthy profitability and cash generation — Segment EBITDA margins of around 40% in the core visa and consular services business, operating cash flow of Rs. 749 crore in FY26, and profit after tax of Rs. 723.8 crore.  Strong liquidity and a conservative balance sheet — Cash and liquid investments of Rs. 1,667 crore and a net cash position of approximately Rs. 1,218 crore as of March 31, 2026. With Total Debt/OPBDIT of 0.5x, the Company maintains significant financial flexibility to fund future growth while comfortably meeting its obligations. Mr. Amit Sudhakar, Chief Financial Officer, BLS International, said, “ICRA's assignment of a long-term rating of ICRA AA-(Stable) and a short-term rating of ICRA A1+ marks an important milestone for BLS International. As ICRA's first credit assessment of the Company, with ratings one notch above our existing CRISIL ratings on both the long-term and short-term scales, it reinforces the strength of our diversified global platform, disciplined financial management and consistent execution.
