Abstract: The increased curiosity towards sustainability, environmental regulations has enforced the industrial organizations to incorporate environmental friendly approaches. The green manufacturing practices lead to less carbon footprints, and material efficiency. To deploy green practices the organizations must have a round of preparation. The green manufacturing adoption enablers provides the systematic round of preparation to adopt green manufacturing effectively. The organizations have to invest ample resources for the preparation for a new approach, so it cannot focus on all the enablers. So, the present study also prioritizes the GM adoption barriers using grey relational analysis (GRA). It has been found that organizational readiness for green manufacturing; top management support and linking of business practices with green measures are the top ranked enablers. The GRG of the top ranked enablers using GRA were found to be 0.772, 0.674 and 0.649 respectively. The present study will facilitate the industrial mangers and practitioners to adopt sustainable green manufacturing practices in their respective organizations. The study will also facilitate the manufacturing sector to fulfill their ambitious targets on environ mental emissions.
