Wordpress is using single.php and page.php instead of index.php for home page

Question

My Home pages(index.php) are not being loaded by index.php, instead they are being loaded in page.php or single.php I'm not able to figure out the reason for this.

You have a static homepage - read up on the hierchy of templates — Stender

From Settings->Readings you have set a page as home page. If you set a home-page and blog-page form Settings->readings then home-page will show form page.php and blog will show from index.php. If you want a default and permanent structure for front-page/home-page you may set front-page.php, It will show on home-page. Thanks.

Check the WordPress hierarchy out. If you want it to load index.php you have to delete single.php for single posts and page.php for pages.
