This isn’t the only “ungrammatical” expression (relative to global standard English) you will encounter in India.
Could it be that some person or some company simply put this expression on their trucks (thinking it’s grammatical), and because it seemed useful other trucks followed, until it became the standard?
Edit: this isn’t to be proscriptive about what’s correct/incorrect in a given country.
