Trent reported standalone revenue of ₹5,788 crore for the September quarter, up 23% year-on-year. Zudio crossed the 1,000-store mark. The company added 27 net stores—17 Zudio and 10 Westside—taking the total fashion network to 1,342 outlets.

Zudio’s milestone and the 23% revenue rise came with continued Tier-2 and Tier-3 openings. Same-store trends held after festive calendar adjustment. Westside and Zudio together now dominate Trent’s footprint.

On the shop floor a new Zudio of 8,000-10,000 sq ft turns inventory faster than traditional department stores, letting the till capture price-sensitive festive buyers before they drift to unorganised markets.

Zudio crossed 1,000 stores while Trent revenue rose 23% to ₹5,788 crore.

The pace helps Trent but squeezes V-Mart, Reliance Yousta and ABFRL Style Up on rent and manpower in the same catchments. Premium formats feel less heat yet lose share of wallet.

Watch Westside’s accelerated openings and any update on the ₹2,500 crore capital plan through the festive window and next quarterly update.
