Equity benchmarks continued to consolidate in morning after last week's 3.5 percent rally on the Nifty and ahead of Union Budget scheduled to be presented on February 1.

Telecom operator Bharti Airtel (up 4.6 percent) and Idea Cellular (up 7.6 percent) were top gainers among Nifty stocks. Reports suggest that Vodafone and Idea Cellular may consider merger.

Sun Pharma gained 2 percent after subsidiary Ranbaxy Labs has received approval from US FDA for Triamcinolone Acetonide spray that is used to relieve skin inflammation, itching.

L&T rose 1 percent despite the company lowered full year revenue growth and order inflow guidance to 10 percent each from 12-15 percent and 15 percent, respectively.

The rally may indicate that the stock already priced in impact of demonetisation and also created bottom for itself.
