ONGC Helibase, its a ONGC owned base for helicopter /chopper 🚁 operations for offshore facilities. No outsiders other than authorised employees are allowed to enter. It does have very tight security. Place is very clean and has excellent infrastructure.

Only ongc employees can get in this helibase. There are various bays and one of the bay is this helibase. Persons who go to offshore duties like in rigs platforms or vessels board and de board ( what we call it as crew change) from here . Now a days only 3 airline / helicopter partners heligo, global vectra , pavan Hans operate here. Outsiders are strictly not allowed here.

Heli base is good and nice interior but chopper shadule is not proper in some time.. We are waiting for confirmation morning to evening..

This is in Villeparle, close to Rly Station and entry from SV Road. Choppers fly from here. It is a airport too with small strip of runway from sea beach of Juhu side.

Been here, seen it. First of all, the easiest way to reach here, with the cheapest mode of Transit in mind, will be to take the suburban train. BELAPUR to ONGC HELIBASE (with reporting time as 0720 IST) If you are coming from Belapur, take the 0520 morning train to vadala road, and change train at vadala. The next train should be the Goregaon Slow at around 0629. You will reach Ville Parle around 0650. Ville Parle is the easiest Rail Station (walkable distance), next to the heli base. At the main gate, show your ONGC card, security check your baggage and wait for ONGC transit bus that will take you to the Helibase. The helibase is basically a smaller version of the airport checkin, where allotted slots are there for different heli departures. Wait for your turn as announced. Remember, there is a probability of getting dropped, if the number of passengers are more than helicopter capacity. In that case, the next ride will be announced by ONGC to your company. There are enough charging points at the boarding and waiting area. Also, food is available at minimal cost at ONGC Canteen. Maximum BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE is 12 Kg for Indians and 15 Kg for foreign nationals. Remember, SMARTPHONE WITH CAMERA is only allowed till boarding check. You can carry a smartphone if you have requested your mobile maker to REMOVE THE CAMERA, and an accompanying letter to that effect is carried along. LAPTOPS, USB, CAMERA is not allowed for transit. Enjoy the ride, Regards.
