Transaction Details

The completion of the acquisition follows an earlier intimation dated April 13, 2026, where Bluspring Enterprises disclosed the initial agreement. The current filing serves as the formal confirmation that all contractual obligations have been met. LSG Sky Chefs (India) Private Limited is now integrated as a wholly-owned step-down subsidiary within the Bluspring Enterprises group structure.

Regulatory Compliance

The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The intimation also references Para A of Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI LODR Regulations, read with SEBI Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. All material details regarding the acquisition were previously disclosed in the April 13, 2026 letter, with this filing serving to update the market on the successful closure of the deal.

What This Means for Stakeholders

The integration of LSG Sky Chefs (India) Private Limited into the Bluspring Enterprises fold represents a significant consolidation in the aviation support services space. By acquiring 100% of the target, Bluspring gains full control over LSG’s operations and strategic direction. The absence of any promoter interest in the transaction underscores the arm’s-length nature of the deal, potentially reducing governance risks for minority shareholders. As a step-down subsidiary, LSG will contribute to the consolidated financials of Bluspring Enterprises, although specific financial impact metrics were not detailed in this completion notice.

Bluspring Enterprises Limited delivered a robust start to FY27, reporting a 20% year-on-year (YoY) increase in consolidated revenue from operations to ₹930 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Net profit after tax (PAT) surged 47% YoY to ₹16 crore, driven by volume expansion across core segments and the consolidation of its recent STEAG Energy Services India Private Limited (STEAG) acquisition. The company also provided updates on its pending acquisition of LSG Sky Chefs India Private Limited (LSG India), which is expected to close in the coming weeks.

The financial results were disclosed pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. Arjun Sunil Makhecha, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed off on the filing submitted to the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. The earnings call, held on August 1, 2026, featured Chief Executive Officer Kamal Pal Hoda and Chief Financial Officer Prapul Sridhar, who detailed the operational drivers behind the growth and outlined strategic priorities for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Financial Performance Overview

Excluding the investment in foundit, Bluspring’s core infrastructure business demonstrated strong momentum. EBITDA grew 48% YoY to ₹35 crore, with margins expanding by 70 basis points to 3.8%, up from 3.1% in Q1 FY26. This margin improvement was attributed to volume growth, better collection efficiencies, and the reduction of low-margin contracts. Sequentially, revenue grew 10% while EBITDA remained flat. Interest costs increased sequentially by approximately ₹2 crore due to borrowings taken for the STEAG acquisition, though management maintains that average debt levels remain modest.

Segment Highlights and Strategic Acquisitions

The Facility and Food segment, contributing over 55% of total revenues, saw a 9% YoY revenue increase to ₹520 crore. Growth was fueled by the onboarding of 40 new clients with an annual contract value (ACV) of ₹89 crore. Despite seasonal headwinds in food services and inflationary pressures from rising LPG prices, EBITDA grew 25% YoY to ₹24 crore, maintaining a steady margin of 4.6%.

The Security segment recorded a record headcount of nearly 25,000 employees, adding approximately 900 guards in the quarter. Revenue jumped 25% YoY to ₹187 crore, supported by 37 new clients with an ACV of ₹43 crore. EBITDA rose 43% YoY to ₹5 crore, although quarterly EBITDA dipped 12% sequentially due to mobilization costs and merit increases.

The Smart Infra, Energy, and Engineering segment (formerly Telecom and Industrial) witnessed the most significant growth, with revenue surging 47% YoY to ₹223 crore. This was largely driven by the inclusion of STEAG, which added ₹76 crore to quarterly revenue post-acquisition on May 21, 2026. STEAG has secured four large multi-year deals contributing over ₹5,100 crore to Bluspring’s top line over the next five years. EBITDA for this segment grew 80% YoY to ₹21 crore, with margins expanding to 9.3%.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between consolidated PAT and standalone core business performance highlights the ongoing drag from the foundit investment. While the core infrastructure business generated a PAT of ₹16 crore, consolidated PAT stood at a loss of ₹2 crore due to foundit’s EBITDA loss of approximately ₹14 crore. Foundit reported sales of ₹25 crore, a 50% YoY increase, but revenue recognition lagged at ₹19 crore due to the deferred nature of B2B subscription sales. Management reaffirmed its target to achieve foundit’s EBITDA breakeven by the end of FY27, projecting full-year cash burn between ₹30 crore and ₹35 crore. The acquisition of LSG India, expected to add ₹110 crore to top line on a pro forma basis, is projected to be ROE and PAT accretive, further strengthening the company’s high-margin aviation catering portfolio.
