BLS E-Services Q2 income climbs 55.1% to Rs 428.1 crore

For Q2FY27 ended September 30, 2026, BLS E-Services Limited reported total income of Rs 428.1 crore, up 55.1% year on year, while operating EBITDA rose 43.8% to Rs 28.8 crore. Profit after tax increased 12.4% to Rs 20.5 crore, trailing income and operating-earnings growth.

How did BLS E-Services perform in Q2FY27?

BLS E-Services increased revenue from operations by 57.3% year on year to Rs 424.4 crore in Q2FY27 from Rs 269.8 crore in Q2FY26. Total income rose by Rs 152.1 crore to Rs 428.1 crore from Rs 276.0 crore, with the company attributing the increase to steady business performance across its verticals.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, or EBITDA, were Rs 32.4 crore in Q2FY27, compared with Rs 26.3 crore a year earlier. The company’s EBITDA measure includes other income and grew 23.4%, less than the 55.1% increase in total income during the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Operating EBITDA reached Rs 28.8 crore in Q2FY27 from Rs 20.0 crore in Q2FY26, an increase of Rs 8.8 crore or 43.8%. The operating measure therefore grew faster than reported EBITDA, which added Rs 6.1 crore, but more slowly than revenue from operations, which added Rs 154.6 crore.

How did BLS E-Services' Q2 profit compare with operating earnings?

BLS E-Services reported profit after tax, or PAT, of Rs 20.5 crore in Q2FY27, up 12.4% from Rs 18.3 crore in Q2FY26. The Rs 2.2 crore increase in PAT was lower than the Rs 8.8 crore rise in operating EBITDA and the Rs 152.1 crore increase in total income.

The release does not state why PAT growth lagged total income, EBITDA and operating EBITDA in Q2FY27. It does show that operating EBITDA grew 43.8%, while EBITDA including other income grew 23.4%, creating a 20.4-percentage-point difference between the two reported earnings-growth rates.

The composition of reported income also changed only modestly in absolute terms between the two quarters. Revenue from operations was Rs 424.4 crore against total income of Rs 428.1 crore in Q2FY27, compared with Rs 269.8 crore of revenue from operations and Rs 276.0 crore of total income in Q2FY26.

What were BLS E-Services' H1FY27 results?

BLS E-Services recorded total income of Rs 737.9 crore in H1FY27, up 40.0% from Rs 527.2 crore in H1FY26. Revenue from operations rose 41.8% to Rs 728.5 crore from Rs 513.7 crore during the six-month period ended September 30, 2026.

H1FY27 EBITDA, including other income, was Rs 59.3 crore, compared with Rs 51.2 crore in H1FY26, a 15.9% increase. Operating EBITDA rose 32.5% to Rs 50.0 crore from Rs 37.7 crore, while PAT increased 9.4% to Rs 39.2 crore from Rs 35.8 crore.

The half-year figures show the same pattern as Q2FY27: income grew more quickly than earnings measures, and PAT grew most slowly. Total income added Rs 210.7 crore between H1FY26 and H1FY27, compared with increases of Rs 12.3 crore in operating EBITDA and Rs 3.4 crore in PAT.

How did BLS E-Services expand its Business Correspondent network?

The company reported 192 bank tie-ups in its Business Correspondent business, including loan-disbursement relationships, in Q2FY27, compared with 144 in Q2FY26. During the September 2026 quarter, it also received empanelment from Punjab & Sind Bank and Chhattisgarh Gramin Bank, although the release did not quantify their financial contribution.

Total touchpoints exceeded 1,88,200 as of September 30, 2026, compared with more than 1,47,000 a year earlier. Business Correspondents, or BCs, and customer service points, or CSPs, exceeded 74,400, up from more than 45,400, following the integration of Atyati Technologies.

What is BLS E-Services planning after Q2FY27?

BLS E-Services said management plans to expand its network, deepen relationships with banks and financial institutions, enhance its service portfolio and pursue cross-selling across its platform. Management linked those actions to the network of more than 1,88,200 touchpoints reported as of September 30, 2026.

Management also said increasing platform scale, deeper penetration in underserved markets, integration of acquired capabilities and additional institutional relationships are expected to support growth. The disclosed starting measures include 192 bank tie-ups in Q2FY27 and more than 74,400 BCs and CSPs, but the announcement sets no numerical target or timetable for further expansion.

Conclusion

BLS E-Services reported substantially higher Q2FY27 income and operating EBITDA, with total income rising 55.1% to Rs 428.1 crore and operating EBITDA increasing 43.8% to Rs 28.8 crore. PAT rose 12.4% to Rs 20.5 crore, while the H1FY27 comparison likewise showed 40.0% total-income growth against 9.4% PAT growth.

The next disclosed development to watch is execution of management’s network, bank-relationship, service-portfolio and cross-selling plans. Future disclosures can show whether the September 30, 2026 base of more than 1,88,200 touchpoints, more than 74,400 BCs and CSPs, and 192 bank tie-ups continues to expand.
