Abstract: The present research work deals with the identification of the issues, which act as major barriers in greening supply chain. On the basis of literature review and discussion with the field experts, the eleven green supply chain issues were identified and analysed by using interpretive structural modelling (ISM). To visualise the driving and dependency nature of the identified issues, ISM model has been developed. The developed ISM model would help to understand the direct relationship among the considered issues. Further, to establish the direct and indirect relationship of one issue with respect to each other issue, fuzzy MICMAC has been used. The outcomes of this analysis may help the managers to build a path in order to improve the GSCM system of an organisation in respect of maximum economic output with minimum environmental impact.
