25. Damage Assessment
The current Damage Assessment estimates a loss of
Approximately Rs. 4147.643 Million from Landline and
Cellular Operators Only. This figure represents the sites which are
totally damaged and are un-operational.
However, the cost incurred to repair/recover the damaged sites
have not been included. It may be around Rs. 10 t0 15 Lac per site.
This is only a snapshot of damage incurred till September 2010.
Therefore, the total cost estimate is likely to increase significantly.
