You might as well bank miles to the program you fly most frequently, unless you want to try the oily food they serve you on Jet intra-Asia...not worth it in my opinion.
EK would be best the best option for an INDIA-DXB on the widebodies many of which have ICE - however as the op correctly pointed EK oneway fares are very high - Biz flights EK oneway 34k, 9W - 21K, IT 21K. Given 9W/IT products on a short regional flight - I don't think EK is worth the premium.
In general EK fares EX India for DXB termination are very much higher as they want to encourage through traffic since India is a big feeder service for them.
