I've heard this often enough from English speakers from India that I think it is accepted grammar in that region.

To my ears it “since years” sounds like it’s missing an “ago” after it (or like the GP said “for years” sounds even more natural).

It makes me think of another similar one: I've noticed that British English speakers will say e.g. "the new iPhone will be available from September 20th"

To my ears that sounds like it's missing an “onwards” after it (or “starting September 20th” would sound even more natural).

Is the meaning different? I'm struggling to see how "from September 20th" would have a different implication to "starting from September 20th" (or similar) given the context.

The meaning is the same, it just sounds weird to my ears in the same way that “since years” does

(Also I just noticed the extra “it” in my previous comment, oops).
