MUMBAI (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley (N:MS) and Standard Chartered (L:STAN) are among six banks picked to manage the sales of shares in two state-run Indian companies, sources directly involved in the deals said on Friday.

The combined sales, worth about $470 million (287.95 million pounds) at current market values, are part of government plans for a record $10.5 billion in asset sales in the year to March to help plug a budget deficit.

Morgan Stanley and Indian banks JM Financial (NS:JMSH) and Avendus have been selected to manage the sale of shares in state-run Rural Electrification Corp (NS:RURL), the sources said.
