As someone who spent a couple of months in India (a long time ago) I sympathise with your confusion. But what can we do, Indians say it one way and Americans the other (I have a lot of friends from the UK and they tend to have their own terms for transportation-purposes as well, like Lorrie and Motorway - not to mention more exotic slang like "leccy" for electric vehicles).
After you accept the OP is using Indian English it's not that hard to understand what they mean & I don't think we have to enforce everyone using American dialects on HN for these relatively minor inconveniences.
