Abstract: Environmental sustainability is emerging as a noticeable area for researchers over the last few decades. In the current scenario, green supply chain management (GSCM) is emerging as a key strategy which has the ability to diminish the negative impact on the environment and subsequently it gives economic benefits to industries. Primary objective of this research is to carry out a literature review on the field of GSCM in Indian manufacturing industries. Further, this research focuses on the illustration of the common challenges and driving forces of GSCM along with the status of GSCM in Indian manufacturing industries. A systematic analysis has been performed then open-ended questionnaire survey has been carried out to find the common challenges and driving forces of GSCM. The questionnaire was sent to 45 respondents, and in return, 24 responses were received which shows a response of 53.33%. This research investigates the challenges and driving forces of GSCM in various Indian manufacturing industries and discovered 22 common challenges and 15 common driving forces of GSCM. Classification of the critical challenges and critical driving forces may turn out to be an extremely valuable wellspring of data to the decision makers and researchers in their green practice usage programs.
