Tata Group retail arm Trent has advanced 2% at Rs 1,170 after the board approves a proposal to buy private equity fund TVS Shriram Growth Fund's entire stake in Landmark Ltd, for Rs 84 crore.

"The company's board has approved to purchase from TVS Shriram Growth Fund I its entire shareholding of 18,25,074 equity shares of Rs 10 each of Landmark Ltd, a subsidiary of the company, for a consideration of Rs 84 crore," Trent said in a filing to the BSE.
