(Corrects value of stake from $290 mln to $144 mln)
MUMBAI (Reuters) - U.S. private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC is in talks to sell its 11 percent 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 $144 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 percent stake in the company in 2009.
