The newspaper, quoting sources, said the idea is to consolidate operations and said that they will be together 'Airtel Digital TV and Dish TV will be a giant'. If the deal succeeds, the entity will be the world’s largest TV distribution company with over 38 million subscribers and 61 percent DTH market share in India.

Neither Airtel nor Dish TV agreed to comment on this development, when the paper approached them.

Dish TV, last year, completed merger of Videocon d2h with itself, kick-starting the consolidation in the DTH space.
