Industry Odisha Bureau, Sep 12: Zudio has crossed 1,000 stores in India. Trent Ltd, the Tata Group retail firm, confirmed the milestone on Saturday. The value-fashion chain launched in 2016. It has expanded rapidly since then.
Zudio Reaches 1,000-Store Milestone
The retailer crossed four digits in roughly ten years. Zudio built its proposition around affordable fashion. That positioning has supported its rapid physical expansion. A network of this size gives Zudio substantial reach across India.
Zudio Expands Across 300 Cities
Zudio’s network now spans more than 300 cities. Trent said the brand has served over 100 million customers. This figure covers the past decade of operations. The company attributed both numbers to a regulatory filing. Such reach extends well beyond a narrow metropolitan footprint.
Trent Builds Wider Fashion Portfolio
Trent operates more than just Zudio. Westside represents its large-format fashion business. Star is Trent’s separate grocery operation. As of June 30, 2026, Trent had 301 Westside stores. It also operated 29 stores across other lifestyle concepts. These figures sit alongside, not within, Zudio’s count.
Trent’s Footprint and FY26 Revenue
Trent’s fashion brands occupied more than 18 million square feet. That footprint spans Zudio, Westside and other concepts together. In FY26, Trent reported revenue of ₹19,701.41 crore. This figure reflects Trent’s overall business, not Zudio alone. No standalone Zudio revenue was disclosed in the filing.
Value Fashion Underpins Zudio’s Strategy
Affordability forms part of Zudio’s stated proposition. That positioning accompanies its city-by-city expansion. Physical reach appears central to how Zudio built scale. The brand’s growth reflects continued investment in store networks, not necessarily digital channels.
Scale Versus Profitability
A 1,000-store network demonstrates physical reach. It does not, by itself, establish profitability. Similarly, 100 million customers show accumulated scale. That figure does not indicate spending levels or repeat visits. Trent’s FY26 revenue provides corporate context only.
Zudio launched in 2016 with an affordable-fashion proposition. It has since crossed 1,000 stores across more than 300 cities. Trent says the chain has served over 100 million customers. The milestone underscores Zudio’s growing weight within Trent’s broader fashion retail portfolio, alongside Westside and Star.
