Apollo Global Management may sell 11% stake in Dish TV

US private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC is in talks to sell its 11% stake in India's largest direct-to-home satellite service operator Dish TV India Ltd, two sources with direct knowledge of the development told Reuters on Wednesday.

The stake has a market value of about $290 million.

Apollo, which manages about $113 billion globally, has hired UBS to run a process to sell its holding, the sources said.

Apollo paid about $100 million for its 11% stake in the company in 2009.
