Covid-19 dominated the major part of 2020, resulting in periodic lockdowns, limited travel, and curtailed economic activities, leading to 7.3% drop in Indian GDP for the fiscal year 2020-21. For TMX, the year's business environment was also harmed by commodity price increases, logistical challenges (container unavailability and increased freight costs), and supply issues from China. Following the initial wave of Macroeconomic factor Covid, the company's diverse and broad customer base aided in capitalizing on the momentum in the food, pharma, and chemicals sectors. Following the recovery, green shoots appeared in other sectors such as cement, steel, sponge iron, and refinery and petrochemical.

There has been visible shift from Capex to Opex model with TOESL playing a key role to decarbonize and reduce water footprint.

During the year, the share of green offering was 68% of the total orders booked. This was mainly on account of several non-fossil orders bagged by TBWES, a major bio refinery order for Power EPC, besides orders for biomass based boilers, and ‘green’ outsourced utilities.

Order booking for the Chemical segment during the year totaled Rs4.2bn.

In a sweet spot – Chemical business remains in sweet spot due to increasing demand for solvent-free and low Total Organic Carbon (TOC) resins for applications such as ultrapure water. Rise in demand for RO, MEE (multi effect evaporator) and incinerators, to boost business for water treatment chemicals that help in achieving zero liquid discharge and effluent treatment. And, Stringent regulations for industrial water treatment, urbanization, and stricter effluent discharge norms are driving the demand for specialty chemicals globally.
