RITES Hosts MAITRI Workshops
MAITRI stands for Master Application for International Trade & Regulatory Interface
RITES Limited, the leading Transport Infrastructure Consultancy and Engineering firm, hosted a series of workshops on MAITRI (Master Application for International Trade & Regulatory Interface) in Mumbai, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, bringing together key stakeholders from both India and the UAE. The sessions were led by senior officials from Customs and Port authorities of both nations, underlining the strategic commitment to digitally transform cross-border logistics data exchange.
At the core of these workshops was a vision to streamline customs EXIM (export-import) procedures and foster a seamless, tech-enabled trade ecosystem through the MAITRI framework. The workshops served as collaborative platforms for in-depth discussions on digital customs processing, integrated logistics solutions, and future-ready trade ecosystems.
Envisioned as a unified digital interface, MAITRI will serve as the technological backbone of the India– UAE Virtual Trade Corridor, enabling real-time data exchange, system interoperability, and harmonization of regulatory frameworks. It aims at redefining the cross-border logistics data exchange — making it faster, smarter, and future-ready.
