Thank you so very much for this list!! This is exactly what I wanted :)
Another book to add to the list would be Nayantara Sahgal's This Time of Morning. My review is here: http://atpemberley.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-time-of-morning-nayantara-sahgal.html
It's a lovely book with a strong political, typically Delhi storyline, definitely worth reading :)
Another great Delhi novel is Himani Dalmia's 'Life is Perfect'. Centers around a joint family in Lutyen's Delhi and modern Delhi high society. A brilliant portrayal.
I am currently reading "Delhi: Adventures in a Mega city" by Sam Miller. It has started off well with the author desfribing everything he sees as he explores Delhi on foot. Alot of interesting facts about Delhi.

This is a fantastic list.
You don't mention your favourites ? and have you read 'Delhi Noir' ? I think it is a collection of short stories based in Delhi.
And have you read
Delhi - An Emperor's City by Vijay Goel
Its got wonderful pictures of the Old Delhi area, history of some of the old buildings in that area.
I dont think I have seen a book like that on Old Delhi.
