Andhra Pradesh made a preliminary estimate of ₹4,600 crore in losses from Cyclone Arnab, sent its damage report to the Centre and promised relief as repairs continued in storm-hit districts.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced the estimate on Friday, October 30, after visiting affected areas. He said a fuller assessment could change the total. He said the cyclone had killed seven people.
He said each bereaved family would receive ₹5 lakh. More than 15,000 electricity poles were uprooted in affected areas. West Godavari district reported about 12,500 fallen trees.
Coconut plantations and paddy fields were also damaged. The state said it was giving priority to household power connections and aimed to restore electricity fully by Saturday evening. Extra crews were brought in to speed repairs.
Fallen trees and damaged phone network equipment also disrupted roads and mobile service. This added to the work needed to restore essential connections. Officials will assess losses to farm and garden crops.
The government has promised support to affected farmers and fishermen. It has begun emergency aid and recovery work. The preliminary report gives the Centre an initial account of the damage.
The state said a detailed assessment would follow.
