Rohini heliport plan takes off with Rs 40cr

New Delhi: The capital is all set to get its first heliport — a dedicated airport for choppers — in time for the Commonwealth Games in October. Budget 2010-11 makes a provision of Rs 40 crore for Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd (PHHL) to build the heliport in Rohini along with a chopper training facility in Pune. This comes on the heels of Rs 10 crore that was provided for the Rohini facility last Budget.
Pawan Hans acquired 25 acres in Rohini from DDA for Rs 19.7 crore last year. The chopper major has got the feasibility report prepared from RITES for the Rs 63-crore project and is now awaiting Planning Commission approval for it.
