May 5 (Reuters) - India's Shoppers Stop SHOP.NS reported a fourth-quarter loss on Tuesday, hurt by subdued discretionary spending with news of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a modest rise in inflation weighing.
The Mumbai-based chain reported a net loss of 163.5 million rupees ($1.72 million) for the three months ended March 31, compared with a profit 19.9 million rupees a year earlier.
