Abstract: This research paper explores the adoption and impact of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices in the Indian manufacturing sector. It examines the key drivers behind SSCM implementation, including regulatory pressure, stakeholder demand, and competitive advantage. The study highlights the significant positive effects of SSCM on business performance, such as improved operational efficiency, reduced costs, enhanced financial outcomes, and increased market competitiveness. However, it also identifies several challenges, including financial constraints, lack of awareness, supply chain integration issues, and regulatory barriers that hinder effective SSCM adoption. Through a comprehensive review of the regulatory and policy environment, the paper discusses how government regulations and initiatives can support or impede sustainability efforts. It further analyses emerging trends, such as the adoption of advanced technologies and circular economy practices, providing recommendations for manufacturers and policymakers to enhance SSCM practices. The findings underscore the need for a strategic approach to overcome challenges and fully leverage the benefits of SSCM, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and competitive manufacturing sector in India.
