I didn't realize AI flies DEL-ORD but the point remains. Who'd fly MAA-DEL-ORD/JFK-SFO/LAX when they can fly MAA-HKG-SFO/LAX with a one stop flight.

Or, even with the MAA-ORD routing, more people would prefer to take a slightly longer flight to HKG and transit there (which is a much more friendly experience), than transit via DEL.
