Abstract: In today’s highly competitive environment, green logistics issues are gaining high attention. Since it is an 1. Introduction
India is one of the largest economies in the world and a major emerging market that has a young population, rising investment
rates, large domestic demand and globally competitive firm. Even though, the unexpected global crisis has taken its toll on the
economy, it is predicted that India will become the third largest economy by the year 2025 after China and the USA. The
transport and logistics sector are fundamental to the development of a country, especially so in India where it is estimated to
provide employment for 45 million people. The economic growth in India has increased the demand for practically all
transport services and further underlines the importance of providing an efficient logistics infrastructure in India. The
Planning Commission of India has stressed that focus needs to be given to integrated transport solutions in preference to
individual transportation and distribution services. In recent years there has been increasing concern about the environmental
effects on the planet of human activity. That is why it has had an increasing amount of attention in the print and electronic
media, in governmental agendas, in the academic literature and from the general public. Stakeholders are increasingly
pressuring firms to assume responsibility for any negative effects their business activities might cause as well. The rising
attention to the greener solutions doesn’t leave logistics aside because it plays a very important role, as it is one of the main
pollution sources and resource user. Green logistics is largely studied in literature in the international context; yet very little
research exists in order to better understand what the role of green logistics in sustainable development. This article analyzes
the state of art of green logistics, which still constitutes an unexplored field. The author analyse a conceptual research and
defined green logistics as the sum of different aspects. To summarize, the lack of consideration of green logistics lead to the
following research questions:
1. What are the main pillars of green Logistics?
2. What are the drivers of Green Logistics?
3. What are the different paradoxes of Green logistics and creation of social and economic value by the green logistics?
4. What are the dimensions of the green logistics?
5. Conceptual framework for green logistics
