Hi Abdul,
For the specific case of multiple rasters that share the same extent, the
next release of GDAL should have a replacement "gdal_calc" that would take
multiple inputs and write a VRT that applies an expression to those inputs
("max", in your case). In the meantime, I think your best option would be
to prepare the VRT yourself.
