Yes, there is an interline agreement that of no use as my Delhi flight departed after midnight the next day, so they would not check my bag the whole way through. Thus I did clear immigration, collected my bag, reentered the airport and had to wait an hour to be allowed to check in again.

Since you didn't bring up any issues
. I would conclude that clearing immigration and wait an hour to check-in is considered a pleasant transit in India.
Not interlining baggage because the flight does not leave until after midnight the next day seems like a rather silly policy, especially if the overall connection time is quite short. Given the timing of most international flights to/from India, this would probably make most interline I-I connections there quite useless.
And I am surprised they let you through immigration without at least a transit visa. In my experience, Immigration Bureau officers are quite strict in that regard, unless you are one of the few nationalities that does not require a visa or at least an ETA to enter India.
