Hold Bharti Airtel: Franklin Templeton

Hold Bharti Airtel, says R Sukumar, Franklin Templeton Investments.

Sukumar told CNBC-TV18, "One of our top holdings in many of the funds I have published is Bharti Airtel, which we have been holding for some time and the reason we have been holding for some time is that we think that there will be consolidation in the telecom industry and the players who are more competitive will see better times. That is the reason we are holding and we are holding on to some better quality private sector banks.
