BENGALURU, April 10 (Reuters) - India's largest software

services provider Tata Consultancy Services posted

lower-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter due to

persistent weakness in North America, its largest market.

The company's consolidated revenue rose 5.3% to 644.79

billion rupees ($7.49 billion) in the quarter. Analysts, on

average, expected 647.58 billion rupees, per data compiled by

LSEG.
