Hi,
Bugs are
inevitable. While planning or estimating it's difficult to predict the
number of bugs. Can I estimate how much time on an average a developer
would take to fix a defect? Are there any industry figures available
for the same? Knowing the Bug fixing effort will help me to plan buffer
time accordingly or compare X project's bug fix rate with some
benchmark value.

You can develop estimates by doing an analysis on previous projects.
IMO a better way is to get SLA (service level agreements) set for the project for defect
resolution, it is usually best to do this using different time frames for the Severity.
If you do this without an SLA you take the risk of alienating developers and it may look
like you are gathering and publishing information to make the developers on your team look
bad.
