Trent Zudio crosses 1,000 stores on 23% revenue jump

Trent’s Q2 revenue rose 23% to ₹5,788 crore as Zudio crossed the 1,000-store mark. More than 80% of recent openings landed in Tier-II, Tier-III and peripheral markets around bigger cities.

A Zudio till in a new Tier-III mall now turns inventory weekly at sub-₹999 price points, pulling footfall that once went to local multi-brand outlets or older department stores. Staff and lease costs rise with density, yet the model still delivers high volume.

Zudio crossed 1,000 stores with most new outlets in smaller cities.

The pace squeezes V-Mart and Reliance Trends on price while helping Trent’s overall fashion productivity. Premium formats such as Westside gain less from the same small-city wave.
