Abstract: Abstract The advent of technology and economic development has led to environmental degradation on various fronts. Today’s economic development is largely driven by the efficient and effective logistics and supply chain operation which yields implicit logistics issues including wastage of the resources, carbon emission, and that of the greenhouse gases leading to climate change. The issues have gathered attention of the global community toward having a sustainable environmentally friendly distribution system that may lead toward low-carbon emission SCM and logistics mechanism. Therefore, this necessitates the model that may lead the age toward carbon neutrality. In this connotation, the study tries prioritizing the factors which plays a significant role in ensuring green logistics with low-carbon emission toward net-zero emission by using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. The research has been conducted along nine experts’ perception on the comparative scale for the identified criteria. The multidimensional decisive framework focuses on 5 significant criteria, i.e., operational efficiency, resource utilization and management, infrastructural efficiency, cargo handling mechanism, and logistics personnel efficiency identified aspects based on literature survey which have further expansion up to total 20 sub-criteria along which the survey has been conducted using AHP questionnaire. The AHP analysis result has come up with the empirical result providing scope for decision-making by Indian logistics firms to adopt carbon neutrality toward attainment of net-zero emission.
