Shares of fast-fashion retailer Trent rose sharply in Monday trading, climbing as much as 6.8 percent to Rs 3,791.90 on the NSE, following strong quarterly results. The stock opened with a gap-up gain of 2.37 percent and has risen nearly 14 percent over the past three sessions.
The company reported a 20 percent year-on-year increase in standalone revenue for the March quarter, reaching Rs 4,937 crore, up from Rs 4,106 crore in the same period last year. For the full fiscal year, revenue grew 18 percent to Rs 19,701 crore, compared with Rs 16,668 crore in FY25.
Revenue from merchandise sales, excluding other operating income, rose 21 percent in the quarter and 19 percent for the full year. Analysts attributed part of the growth to higher consumer spending following September’s tax cuts, which boosted disposable incomes.
Trent’s expansion strategy has also contributed to its revenue momentum. The retailer increased its store count to 1,286 by March 31, up from 1,043 a year earlier. The Tata Group-owned firm, which operates youth-focused chains Zudio and Westside, plans further expansion in smaller cities and towns, targeting growing demand outside metro areas.
Market observers note that Trent’s performance signals a recovery after the slowest growth in four years, highlighting the resilience of India’s fast-fashion sector. The combination of rising consumer spending and aggressive store expansion is expected to support continued growth in the near term.
Investors will be watching the company’s execution in tier-2 and tier-3 markets closely, as these regions become increasingly important for retail growth.
