Mumbai: Trent Limited reported a consolidated net profit of ₹413 crore for the quarter ended March 2026, marking a 33% Year-on-Year (YoY) increase. Correspondingly, revenues from operations rose 19% to ₹5,028 crore, as the GST 2.0 rate reductions have boosted demand during the peak Diwali sale season.
Encouraged by the results, the company’s board has approved a 1:2 bonus share issue and has recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per share.
Brand Power: The Zudio & Westside Expansion
Trent has been able to outperform the broader retail sector on the back of its flagship Zudio and Westside brands, catering to the mass market and premium lifestyle segments, respectively. Despite growing competition from Reliance Retail’s Azorte and Aditya Birla Fashion’s OWND! brand, the company has continued to expand these brand’s reach, bringing its total fashion store count to over 963 Zudio stores and 300 Westside stores.
Financial Highlights & Capital Raising
Despite the geopolitical challenges, Trent’s EBITDA has increasd 44% to ₹653 crore this quarter. The Tata Group company’s board is also looking to raise up to ₹2,500 crore through a rights issue to fund its next phase of expansion.
“In FY26, the business delivered encouraging performance, while navigating multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical developments with resilience. We believe that the consumer sentiment would recover further in the coming months once the geopolitical environment settles down.”Noel N Tata, Chairman of Trent Limited, said.
“We are still in the initial laps of our growth, and we remain committed to building out a portfolio of brands that address the significant market opportunity in the lifestyle space,” Tata added.
