The UAE-based airlines wanted India to sign the BIPA before executing the transaction to avert the crisis witnessed in case of Etisalat's telecom investment. UAE telecom major Etisalat had to shut its operations following cancellation of several telecom licences by the Supreme Court in 2012 in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation scam.

Finance Minister P Chidambaram during his visit to Dubai in May had discussed the issues related to the BIPA with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces. The bilateral trade had reached USD 75 billion in 2012-2013, bilateral investments had not matched the level of trade.
