I had a similar issue with my site, FintechZoom (Third party link removed by admin) , where the HTTPS version wasn't getting indexed despite having a 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. After some research and troubleshooting, I implemented a few steps that resolved the issue:

  1. Verify HTTPS Redirection: I double-checked that the 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS was correctly set up across all pages. This ensures that search engines are directed to the secure version of the site.

  2. Update the Sitemap: I updated the sitemap to include only the HTTPS URLs and submitted it to Bing Webmaster Tools. This helps search engines recognize and prioritize the HTTPS version.

  3. Check for Duplicate Content: I made sure there were no duplicate content issues between the HTTP and HTTPS versions, which can confuse search engines and cause indexing problems.

  4. Fetch as Bingbot: I used the "Fetch as Bingbot" tool in Bing Webmaster Tools to request indexing of the HTTPS pages. This manually triggers the search engine to crawl and index the correct version.

  5. Monitor Indexing Status: I regularly monitored the Site Explorer to ensure that the HTTPS pages were being indexed correctly and that no issues persisted.

After applying these methods, I noticed that the HTTPS pages of FintechZoom began to get indexed correctly, and the issue was resolved. I recommend trying these steps to see if they help with your site's indexing on HTTPS.
