Noel Tata to exit Trent chair in Nov 2026 after 50x valuation surge to Rs 1.73 lakh crore
A decade under Noel Tata transformed Trent from a Rs 3,400 crore mid-cap into a Rs 1.73 lakh crore retail giant, powered by Westside's 300-store footprint, Zudio's 960-store value-fashion blitz across Tier 2-4 India, and FY26 guidance of Rs 20,000 crore revenue and Rs 1,700 crore profit.
Noel Tata will retire as Trent Chairman in November 2026 after a decade in which the retailer's valuation grew nearly 50x to Rs 1.73 lakh crore, driven by Westside expansion, Zudio's private-label value fashion, and brick-and-mortar focus on Tier 2-4 cities.
