Reason behind Micromax's exit

A significant determinant in Micromax's decision was the internal evaluation which put the cumulative loss for Indian Aces in the first season at $3.58 million (Rs.23.7 crore). There were also rumours about "escalating costs and lack of transparency over how the money is being spent". However, Mahesh Bhupathi said that inaugural losses were common for every league and that they would eventually break even.
