Westside targets up to 100 store openings a year as Trent accelerates expansion
Tata Group retail arm Trent plans to lift Westside’s annual store additions from roughly 10–15 to as many as 100, backed by a Rs 25 billion fundraise. The retailer is targeting new markets in northeastern India and larger cities while investing in e-commerce and faster AI-enabled product development.
Trent plans to accelerate Westside to up to 100 annual store openings from 10-15, expanding in northeastern India and major cities. Capital raised will support stores and e-commerce, while AI-led design and supply-chain changes aim to shorten fashion production cycles.
Why this matters
The plan follows recent signals that Westside would ramp to 100 annual openings and that Trent’s Zudio growth is cooling, pointing to a greater role for Westside in Trent’s expansion.
Store-opening is steady, with 1,491 signals in the past 90 days; QoQ change was not provided.
