You will need transit visa:
1. You certainly have to pass immigration as you will have to check-in with QR airport side desk located on 2nd floor.
2. You cannot use air-side transit as you have 2 seperate tickets, and are considered as pax travelling ex-India.
3. Air-side transit is generally designed for people booked on through tickets via BOM.
India is usually strict with Visas, and are never issued on arrival.
+1, on my recent trip to DEL, the check-in agent ex SYD checked my passport for a valid Indian Tourist Visa before my boarding pass was issued, thus what LH757 is correct, as KE can refuse boarding. Most likely what you need is a "Transit Visa".
Transit visas are valid for halts of up to 72 hours in India within 15 days from the date of issue of the visa and must be obtained before departure. Transit Visas cannot be obtained from immigration counters at ports of entry in India. Evidence of onward travel to a destination outside India is required.
