Trent in focus as Tata Group's Tata CLiQ partners with Lululemon for India launch
Trent Ltd., the Tata Group retail arm, is expected to be in focus on Wednesday, July 16, following the announcement of a major partnership between Tata CLiQ and Lululemon, the premium Canadian athleisure brand.
Lululemon said it plans to open its first store in India in the second half of 2026, partnering with Tata CLiQ for both offline and e-commerce operations. The agreement will see Lululemon's products — spanning athletic wear, footwear, and accessories — offered through Tata CLiQ's Luxury and Fashion platforms.
Tata CLiQ, with over 4,000 brands and more than 1.5 million styles, will also help build Lululemon's online presence in India.
However, it is important to note that Tata CLiQ is owned by Tata Unistore Ltd., a separate entity within Tata Digital, and not part of Trent Ltd. In a clarification following the announcement, Trent stated, 'Tata CLiQ is an omnichannel e-commerce platform operated by Tata Unistore, which is not a part of Trent.'
Meanwhile, Trent recently reported a 20% revenue growth for the April-June quarter — below its five-year CAGR of 35% — which may also weigh on investor sentiment.
Out of 25 analysts tracking Trent, 18 have a 'buy' rating, four recommend 'hold', and three have a 'sell' call, reflecting a generally positive outlook despite near-term moderation in growth.
Investors will be watching closely to see if the buzz around the Tata-Lululemon partnership lifts Trent shares, even as the direct beneficiary is Tata CLiQ.

400,000 Canadians - and Counting - Demand More Internet Choice as Petition Supporting CRTC Decision Surges
Canadians rally against competitor efforts to overturn CRTC decision that benefits consumers TORONTO, July 17, 2025 /CNW/ - TELUS announced today that over 400,000 Canadians – and counting – have signed the #DemandMoreInternetChoice petition, making it one of the most supported petitions in Canadian history. This milestone marks a doubling of support since January 2025 and represents significant momentum toward TELUS' goal of reaching one million signatures. The petition reflects growing frustration with limited internet options and affordability concerns, particularly in Eastern Canada, and signals strong support for the CRTC's decision to enable more competition in high-speed internet. "The resounding voices of 400,000 Canadians – a number that is increasing by the day – cannot be ignored. Their clear desire for increased internet choice underscores the importance of offering customers a diversity of services and providers," said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO of TELUS. "Crucially, since TELUS' entry into the Ontario and Quebec markets two years ago, Statistics Canada indicates that internet prices have declined 13.7 per cent. As affordability continues to be top of mind for Canadians, this is a testament to the transformative power of competition and the robust investment and innovation that always accompanies it. In this regard, our TELUS team looks forward to ensuring even more Canadians have an opportunity to benefit from our differentiated bundles, including home internet and wireless, as well as new services such as AI-driven, smart home energy management, next-generation home and mobile healthcare, affordable home security and exciting entertainment solutions." Affordability remains top of mind for Canadians. Since TELUS entered Ontario and Quebec two years ago, home internet prices have dropped 13.7%, according to the Government of Canada's Statistics Canada – despite TELUS holding just 3.07%3 market share. Even this modest pressure has driven meaningful consumer benefit. As Canada's data infrastructure builder, TELUS remains committed to its recently announced $70 billion investment program through 2029 in global-leading broadband services across Ontario and Quebec, ensuring that all Canadians benefit from world-leading connectivity, competitive pricing, and the innovation that comes from genuine market competition. TELUS is always building Canada. Polling conducted by Rubicon Strategy revealed the following: 82% of Canadians support more competition. 83% of Ontario Progressive Conservative voters want government to support more competition, with 89% wanting TELUS as an option. Over 80% of residents in Ontario and Quebec believe increased competition is the only way to improve affordability.1 90% of Ontarians agree they should be able to choose their internet provider based on price and quality. 2 84% of Quebecers support government action to increase ISP competition.1 Canadians are connecting the dots between market concentration and the affordability crisis. A June 2025 BMO report found that 78% of Canadians are concerned about the rising cost of living – up sharply from 61% in March. For 75% of Ontarians and 69% of Quebecers, a reversal of the CRTC decision would signal that government does not understand the crisis at hand.1 Canadians expect the federal government to respect the independence of the CRTC and not capitulate to corporate lobbying and threats to withhold investment. Overturning the ruling would damage regulatory credibility, interprovincial trade, and investor confidence, as well as government plans for a single Canadian economy. The CRTC has reconfirmed its commitment to wholesale access to fibre no fewer than six times – based on supportive submissions by the Competition Bureau – including as recently as June 2025, following years of review, an open and transparent hearing process, and thorough analysis. The petition can be found at #DemandMoreInternetChoice in English and at ExigezplusdechoixdefournisseursInternet in French. The combined total of 400,000 represents English and French petition signatures as well as expressed support via TELUS direct SMS messages and emails.
