Tata Group retailer Trent has posted 19 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in its standalone revenue from operations in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1FY27). The company’s revenue rose to Rs 5,666 crore.
In an exchange filing, the company said that the revenue in the same quarter a year ago stood at Rs 4,781 crore. The company added that the revenue from sale of merchandise, excluding other operating income, also grew by 19 per cent during the quarter ended June 2026.
As of 30 June 2026, the company’s portfolio of 1,312 stores includes 301 Westside, 982 Zudio (including seven in the United Arab Emirates) and 29 stores across other lifestyle concepts. This involves the net addition of one Westside and 19 Zudio stores during the quarter.
Earlier, a media report noted that Maya Tata, daughter of Noel Tata, is set to take charge of the ecommerce marketing function for Westside, the retail chain of Trent. The report added that this comes as the company is looking to accelerate its digital ambitions.
The report added that she recently moved on from Tata Digital and is now looking to bring her experience in digital commerce, customer acquisition and online retail. Westside is currently expanding its international footprint as well, as it recently opened its first store in the United Arab Emirates.
Apparel Firms End Q1 On Strong Note
India’s apparel companies are entering the festive quarter with cautious optimism after a first quarter marked by selective consumer spending, resilient demand in value and premium segments, and continued pressure on discretionary purchases in the mid-market. Rather than chasing volumes through steep discounts, brands spent Q1 tightening operations, improving assortments and sharpening inventory planning as they prepared for what is typically the biggest consumption period of the year.
Rising input and operating costs continued to put pressure on margins, relatively stable cotton prices and disciplined cost management helped maintain margin stability. Lightweight, casual, streetwear-inspired apparel, denim, shirts, oversized T-shirts, polos, coordinated sets and streetwear were among the strongest-performing categories in Q1, with online channels consistently growing.
Instead of building excess inventory, most brands are entering the festive season with tighter stock positions, quicker product refreshes and more agile sourcing strategies to respond to demand while protecting profitability.
