Indian shares ended higher on Friday as easing US-Iran tensions pulled down oil prices, while investors awaited December quarter earnings from IT bellwether Infosys Ltd scheduled to be released later in the day.

Cooling crude propped up equities at the third-largest global oil consumer, with the blue-chip NSE Nifty 50 index hitting a record high during the session at 12,311.20.

The Nifty ended nearly 0.33% higher at 12,256.80, while the benchmark Sensex jumped 0.36% to 41,599.72. The Nifty and Sensex posted a weekly gain of 0.25% and 0.33%, respectively.
