The study focuses on 10 Navratna companies based in India that come under the central public sector enterprises. The study focuses on the Digital Mission by the Government of India, its impact on the industries operating in India and how technologies have affected the overall productivity of Indian enterprise with their approach to achieve SDG-9. The study finds that the Navratna companies have been successfully working towards achieving the goals of SDG-9 for building resilient infrastructure, sustainable industrialisation and fostering innovation but still they need to use the technologies to their maximum potential in terms of improving their overall productivity and delivery. The data for the study has been collected through secondary resources like websites, annual reports, research materials and company websites. The implication of the study is that other companies operating in India and abroad can learn about implementing the sustainable development goal in their day-to-day practices to increase productivity and improve infrastructure, thereby fostering innovation and growth. This will help India reach its goal of becoming a major manufacturing hub and a digitally advanced nation.
