• MAITRI data platform: The platform transmits collated, real-time cargo information ahead of vessel arrival, enabling advance berthing and handling planning for ports, early risk assessments for customs, and streamlined tracking for importers.
• Virtual trade corridors: While physical infrastructure across 30+ global multimodal corridors involves complex budgeting and cost-sharing models, virtual software corridors serve as an immediate mechanism to bring international stakeholders together.
• Bharat TradeNet integration: The MAITRI framework serves as the initial operational foundation for the Bharat TradeNet platform envisaged in the budget to facilitate seamless domestic and international trade.
• Geographic network expansion: Following the Phase 1 launch on May 15, the platform is expanding data-exchange coverage to additional Indian ports, UAE ports including Fujairah and Khor Fakkan, and neighboring countries despite global supply chain tensions.
