About

The Rohini Heliport, owned by Pawan Hans Limited, is the first of its kind in the country. The heliport is spread over 25 acres, a few kilometers away from the Rithala metro station, Delhi. It consists of a terminal building having a capacity of 150 passengers, 4 Hangars with a parking capacity of 16 helicopters and 9 parking bays. The facility has separate air traffic control (ATC), fire and fuelling services. It is home to a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility to be used for the Pawan Hans fleet as well as for third-party maintenance work.

Construction

The Rohini Heliport was constructed by Ahmedabad-based Dineshchandra R. Agrawal Infracon Private Limited (DRA Infracon) at a cost of around 100 crores.

The Ministry of Environment accorded in-principle approval to the proposal in June 2011.[3]
