Abstract: The coronavirus outburst reveals that pandemic situation can wildly impoverish the global supply chain. The pandemic has propelled the supply chain (SC) of industries at serious risk and disruption. To overcome the downfall of SC, the only way out is to work on sustainable and circular supply chain (CSC) resiliency after COVID-19 era by understanding the factors affecting CSC resiliency. The paper diagnosed the factors affecting CSC resiliency of Indian industries by using fuzzy-analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP). This unfolds the priority of the identified factors and explains that the governmental guidelines are the most important factor, which provides guidelines, laws, and policies for the particular situation, followed by technological innovation, logistics, and localisation of SC for CSC resiliency post-COVID-19 era. The results help the managers and decision makers to deal with the effects of the pandemic and better knowledge of the factors for making plans to get out of this coronavirus outburst for sustainability.
