Due to the new trends in global warming, environmental consciousness has become a
greater concern among the organizations and industries globally. Green Supply Chain
Management (GSCM) has received an increased attention from academia and industries in last
few years. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has emerged as an innovative
organizational strategy to reduce environmental impacts of supply chain activities as well as
efficient usage of energy and material. In today’s developing economies, customers are becoming
more conscious of the environment and governments are making stringent environmental laws, so
the industries need to reduce the environmental impact of their supply chain activities. There are
many barriers which directly and indirectly affect the implementation of GSCM in an organization.
In this paper twenty barriers have been identified through extensive literature review and expert
opinion of academicians. These barriers are found to exist in all organizations irrespective of
industry domain. Due to the presence of various barriers, Indian organizations are struggling to
implement GSCM in their operations. By removing the barriers, Indian industries can focus on
cleaner production by adopting Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in their operations.
The Objective of the study was to identify the GSCM barriers in Indian context. The research
methodology was perusing literature in GSCM and validating by experts opinion. Literature was
perused irrespective of industry domain. The study concludes by narrowing on twenty barriers
which play a prominent role in the Indian context.
