» Rs. 30,000 million due to close down of shops, industries and commerce
» RS. 10,000 million in Surat due to damage to textile mills, handloom mills
» Rs. 100 million or more due to burning down of 60 Opel Astras parked outside GM Motors unit at Halol
» Rs. 20 million or more at the Lucky Film studio nearby
» Rs. 40 million due to burnt Honda City and Accord Fleet cars at Landmark Honda showroom at Thaltej, Gandhinagar
» Rs. 6000 million loss to hotel industry at Ahmedabad
» 20,000 workers jobless, and many missing
» Rs. 5000 million due to burnt down hotels and restaurants in Bhavnagar, Ahmedabad
» 20,000 two-wheelers and 4000 cars burnt
» Thousands of crores lost due to burning and destruction of thousands of houses
» Gujarat Road Transport Corporation estimated a loss of Rs. 125 million and transportation companies have lost business of Rs. 700 million.
