This segment has demonstrated resilience, posting a 34% increase from the previous quarter and a 39% rise year-on-year. Additionally, the exchange has diversified its revenue streams through data services, although revenue from Data Connectivity Charges witnessed a slight decline of 8% YoY, while earnings from Data Feed & Terminal services increased significantly, supporting the overall revenue structure.
