Mumbai lost RS 4000 crore during attacks

Mumbai: The 60-hour Terror ordeal that struck Mumbai on Wednesday night caused a blow of nearly Rs 4,000 crore to the financial capital of the country, industry experts said on Saturday.
"It is an overall loss of the economy as hotels, shops and all businesses were closed. A minimum of Rs 1,000 crore per day is lost when such a shut-down takes place," said ASSOCHAM Secretary D S Rawat.
"If you take the impact for four days due to the siege, then the overall loss could be over Rs 4,000 crore," he added.
On Thursday the Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange and Commodity exchanges were shut and many of the corporate offices had reported skeletal staff presence as security forces tried to overcome terrorists, who struck at different parts of Mumbai.
Combined daily turnover of the BSE, NSE and the commodity exchanges is about Rs 32,710 crore. The attack on the city, which is also the entertainment hub of the country, has greatly affected the television and movie industry with a loss of about Rs 10 crore, estimated during the last three days of terrorist attacks.
