Availability of emerging technology, globalization scenario, use of information and communication technology (ICT), and decreasing transportation cost (logistic optimal fleet selection) are responsible for rapid variation in product demand and these demands can be handled by using the concept of new product development (NPD) under sustainable supply chain (SSC) environment. In today’s manufacturing environment, it is a challenging task for practitioners and researchers, how to handle new product development (NPD) in a sustainable supply chain environment. In general, economical, social, and environmental are three aspects of sustainability. Individual aspect of SSC issues for NPD has been found in the literature but integration of all the three aspects for NPD is an emerging topic. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to provide a holistic approach for integrating SSC concerns with NPD.
