The AY flight number only denominates that a flight is marketed by Finnair. Any given flight can have numerous flight codes for different airlines, but that does not affect the operating carrier. I would assume that AY has an agreement for checking through baggage with Icelandair, but you can also check in the Finnair.com chat if you are worried.

Edit: In addition, I believe the only reason why it would not be checked through would be some customs regulations and in that case it would not matter whether the carrier is AY, FI or a pigeon.

I believe the best answer you will get is from Finnair Chat. Even though we have a lot of flying experience here, I don't think anyone of us has done that particular itinerary so we can't say for sure..

So as per you different carrier wont be the reason in case the baggage is not auto checked through but customs regulations will be.. I think if baggage will make through customs via Delhi and Helsinki, it should be through from ARN as well.

At least couple years ago on the route in the opposite direction KEF-ARN-HEL there was no problem to get bags checked thru (and the airside bus connection between terminals also was easy). This was on FI ticket, although the second leg was operated by AY. I would assume the Delhi leg probably won't cause any changes to this.
Also, can anyone tell me if i can carry a small backpack along with the standard size carry on bag within finnair flight as a standard allowance? Total weight not exceeding 8Kg
