MUMBAI (Reuters) - Sensex ended slightly higher on Thursday as derivatives expiry, a long weekend and the central bank's credit policy meeting next week deterred investors from building large positions.
The broader Nifty ended 0.29 percent higher, while the benchmark Sensex gained 0.16 percent.
Both indexes posted their first weekly decline in three. The Nifty lost 1.42 percent and the Sensex shed 1.36 percent this week.
Indian markets will be closed on Friday for a local holiday.
