MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian shares extended losses to more than 2 percent on Thursday after opening stronger, with the fall led by export-focused outsourcers as the rupee hit its highest in more than two months.

By 1:42 p.m. the 30-share BSE index was down 2.1 percent at 14,627.65. Earlier, the index had risen as much 1.26 percent.

The 50-issue NSE index was down 1.8 percent at 4,394.90.
