Trent Eyes 10X Revenue Growth, Plans Global Expansion for Westside and Zudio

Tata Group retail arm Trent is targeting a ten-fold increase in revenue in the coming years as it accelerates expansion across India and prepares to take its homegrown brands to international markets.

Speaking in the company's latest annual report, Chairman Noel N. Tata said Trent has already achieved more than 2.5 times growth in revenue and profitability since he outlined the 10X vision at the 2023 shareholders' meeting. He expressed confidence that the company would reach the milestone in the “not-so-distant future.”

Trent, which operates fashion and lifestyle chains Westside and Zudio along with grocery retail format Star Bazaar, reported revenue from operations of ₹19,701 crore in FY26. The company ended the fiscal with 1,286 stores spanning 17.7 million sq. ft. across 321 cities.

Highlighting the company's next phase of growth, Tata said Trent aims to build Indian brands with relevance in global markets and generate meaningful revenues from overseas operations, in line with India's broader export ambitions.

The retailer will continue to follow its multi-brand strategy with distinct propositions catering to diverse customer needs. Tata noted that India’s evolving retail landscape offers significant opportunities, making it unlikely for a single brand to dominate the lifestyle segment.

Reflecting on Trent’s journey, Tata said the company has evolved from its origins as a transition from Lakme into fashion retail 25 years ago into a major retail player with over 1,200 stores. He credited the growth of brands such as Westside, Zudio and Star Bazaar for strengthening the company’s retail portfolio.

Despite its rapid scale-up, Tata emphasized that Trent remains in the early stages of its growth journey and is well-positioned to capitalize on substantial opportunities ahead.
