Rohini Heliport is located at Rohini(Sector 36), north west of New Delhi, India. Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju inaugurated the new facility on 28 February 2017.
The Heliport, owned by Pawan Hans, 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. It consists of a terminal building having capacity of 150 passengers, four hangars with parking capacity of 16 helicopters and nine parking bays. It has been built at a cost of around 980 million rupees. 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.
The Heliport was proposed by the Civil Aviation Ministry and approved under the Master Plan of Delhi. The Environment Ministry accorded in-principle approval to the proposal in 2011.
