REUTERS - Indian shares ended higher on Thursday, snapping two days of losses, as global sentiment got a boost after minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's July meeting showed policymakers were split over whether to raise interest rates soon.

The Nifty rose 0.57 percent to 8,673.25, its highest close since Aug. 9.

The Sensex climbed 0.42 percent to 28,123.44.
