Mumbai:<\/strong> In a major infrastructure move aimed at strengthening Mumbai\u2019s aerial connectivity and emergency response network, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has selected Raymond Ltd<\/strong> as its private partner to develop and operate a helipad at the Worli jetty under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.<\/h2>\n\n

The project marks a significant step in repurposing coastal infrastructure created during the city\u2019s ambitious road development works.<\/p>\n\n

Raymond to Lead Development and Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Under the agreement, Raymond will be responsible for the complete redevelopment of the existing Worli jetty structure into a fully licensed helipad facility. The company will oversee construction, architectural modifications, safety enhancements, and long-term operations and maintenance of the site.<\/p>\n\n

Civic officials said the move aligns with the BMC\u2019s strategy to leverage private sector expertise while ensuring steady revenue for the municipal body.<\/p>\n\n

Jetty to Be Upgraded as Permanent Structure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Worli jetty was originally constructed as a temporary facility to support the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation\u2019s<\/strong> coastal road works. As part of the helipad project, the structure will now be converted into a permanent installation.<\/p>\n\n

Significant structural changes are planned, including reinforced construction, dedicated ramp access, and enhanced safety systems. All upgrades will be carried out in compliance with norms prescribed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which regulates civil aviation operations in India.<\/p>\n\n

Officials confirmed that aviation safety standards, emergency response readiness, and operational efficiency will be central to the redesign.<\/p>\n\n

Operational Timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The helipad is expected to become operational within the next two years, subject to statutory and aviation regulatory approvals. Once completed, Raymond will manage day-to-day functioning, maintenance, and operational logistics of the facility.<\/p>\n\n

Revenue Sharing Model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Under the PPP framework, Raymond will share 50 percent of landing fee revenue with the BMC. Additionally, the agreement guarantees a minimum monthly payment of \u20b94 lakh to the civic body, whichever amount is higher. This ensures a stable income stream for the municipal corporation while allowing the private partner operational flexibility.<\/p>\n\n

Strategic Importance for Mumbai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Worli helipad is expected to play a crucial role in replacing helicopter operations currently conducted at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse<\/strong>, which is undergoing redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n

Beyond VIP movement, the facility is being positioned as a vital emergency infrastructure asset. It will support air ambulance services, disaster response operations, and critical medical evacuations \u2014 especially important in a densely populated metropolis like Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n

Boost to Coastal Road Corridor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The helipad\u2019s location near the city\u2019s expanding coastal road corridor adds to its strategic value. Officials believe the project complements Mumbai\u2019s broader infrastructure push, creating an integrated transport ecosystem that includes road, sea, and air connectivity.<\/p>\n\n

With adequate landing space and proximity to South Mumbai\u2019s key administrative and commercial zones, the Worli helipad is set to become an important node in the city\u2019s evolving urban transport network.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
