RITES, a state-owned infrastructure consultancy, is committed to expanding its operations in West Asia, despite the ongoing regional conflicts. Chairman Rahul Mithal stated that the firm’s order book stands at ₹2,100 crore (approximately $252 million USD), with significant opportunities arising from India's participation in the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC). RITES has established an office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and signed multiple memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with local and global partners, including AD Ports and DP World. A notable achievement is the operationalization of India's first virtual trade corridor using the MAITRI (Master Application for International Trade and Regulatory Interface) framework, which aims to streamline cargo movement between India and the UAE.

The company reported ₹2,415 crore in operating revenues for 2025-26, marking a 10% increase year-on-year. Despite the war's impact on travel costs and supply chain timelines, RITES is targeting another 10% growth in revenues for FY27. Additionally, the firm plans to export diesel locomotives to Africa and rail coaches to Bangladesh, further enhancing its international business prospects.
