Scroll down to "India" and you'll see there is an exemption for transit passengers and crew who don't leave the airport premises, but only if "the Health Officer agrees to such exemption."

You are making this more complicated than it needs to be. If you are asked where you are coming from, just say South Africa (which is true) and they will not ask you for any yellow fever certificate. If they ask what airline you were on, just say "Ethiopian but only transit at Addis airport" and they will let you go through.

Also the 'health officer' in DEL is usually a very disinterested person sitting at a desk making sure s/he has punched in so s/he gets paid at the end of the month. Even at the peak of swine flu and ebola they had set up their equipment and looked somewhere but not at the passengers.

Yellow Fever Rules for India
If you're white, you probably won't even be asked.
If you're black African, you'll be asked even if you came from somewhere else.
If you're Indian, it depends if they think they can tap you up for a bribe.
