It depends on citizenship. ("Bengali" is an ethnic and/or linguistic classification, not indicative of nationality.)
Ok, Ok, I assume you are in fact Bangladeshi. I don't think you need an Indian visa...it is certainly possible to transit airside in DEL. But don't take my word for it, or that of anyone here. It's your a*s on the line, so check with official sources.

The best source would NOT be the airline, but rather the local embassy or government authority involved. (Or so I say from my experiences). In other words, I have been screwed over by an airline's advice before, so I wouldn't bet my life on things to pan out or be as they say.

http://www.emirates.com/english/plan...formation.aspx Is a great link on the EK website, it is connected to the embassies - plug in Nationality, destination and transit points and it will tell you what visas etc you need.

Also, if you are indeed traveling on a Bangladeshi passport and transiting via India, forget timatic and contact the nearest Indian consulate to get clear information. Bear in mind citizens traveling on passports of certain neighbouring countries do attract more scrutiny from passport control / immigration at the Airport.

no transit visa required as long as its intl to intl transit.
LHR-DEL-DAC is a popular route for Bangladeshis, Jet are a credible alternative to the middle east carriers and blow away Biman!
Ive seen thousands of bangladesh passports on the 9W route and none have an indian visa of any sort!
