ICRA’s view on Zinka Logistics Solutions

ICRA, the rating agency, on June 24, 2025, has upgraded the short-term rating of Zinka, which factors in the improvement in its business and financial risk profiles and expectation that the same will be sustained, going forward. ICRA expects Zinka to generate healthy accruals, going forward, while maintaining a comfortable capital structure as the residual business in the company is the profitable technology-focused service platform with minimal working capital requirement.
 
With the average monthly transacting truck operators on Blackbuck increasing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.3 per cent to 7.21 lakh over FY2022-FY2025, it is estimated to cover approximately 20 per cent of the truck operators in the country. Further, with its expansive network of channel partners/employees covering over 10,000 touch points across 80 per cent of India’s districts and 76 per cent of the toll plaza network, the prospects for expansion of its customer base remain strong, ICRA said in the rating rationale.
