It is as per Google's opinion.

For a variety of reasons, Google may crawl a page but not index it. The question then arises, how can this be fixed? Now that you have put up a few best practices, you shall explore the topic even more.

Pillar pages, in expert opinion, are an excellent method to link out to further pertinent blog entries and information. The rationale behind this is that pillar sites that are linked from the footer navigation provide a strong signal to Google indicating their importance. If the unindexed page on your website coincides with one of these major, already-existing sites, adding a link to it could indicate to Google that the page is significant and should be indexed.
A different tactic that can be effective is to request that Google manually re-crawl the website
Although this does ask Google to add the URL to their indexing queue, you shouldn't expect a prompt answer because neither the length of the queue nor your present position in it are known at this moment. Despite this, it is still preferable than nothing if all other options have been exhausted.
This should aid search marketers in understanding the enigmatic "Crawled — currently not indexed" status displayed in the Index Coverage report. Though there are probably many more reasons why Google would decide to classify URLs in this manner, the examples above are the most prevalent ones that Creation Infoways have observed with the clients so far.
