Noel N Tata, chairman, Trent said, 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.
The Indian consumer continues to evolve with growing aspirations and increasing access to a diverse set of offerings. In this context, we believe, a differentiated customer proposition that builds on relevance and ubiquitous presence will continue to see much traction. 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.
In our Star business, we continue to apply Trents playbook and the contribution of our own brands and products is now trending over 73% of revenues. We recognize that the expansion program for Star stores has been slower vis-vis our expectations and we are looking to accelerate this agenda in the coming years. We are also looking to make select commitments to retail real estate that allows Star to viably access dense catchments. The food and grocery opportunity is significant and the Star model is differentiated. We remain convinced that this business is well poised to deliver growing consumer value in the years ahead.
