Segment wise,  Non-transaction revenues are expected to have benefited from fees associated with surveillance and growth in CRISIL revenues. Market Intelligence revenues are expected to have gained from growth in Data & Advisory Solutions, Desktop, Credit, Risk Solutions and Enterprise Solutions. Commodity Insights revenues are expected to have been driven by Advisory & Transactional Services, Price Assessments, Energy, Resources Data & Insights.
