Because Delhi, India is 28 degrees 30 minutes north latitude. The Earth's axial tilt is 23 degrees 40 minutes, so even at noon on the Summer Solstice, the Sun is only 85 degrees elevation.

Delhi is situated at a latitude of approximately 28.7 degrees north. The angle between the Tropic of Cancer and the North Pole is 23.5 degrees. This means the sun is never directly overhead in Delhi because it doesn't cross the zenith at this latitude.
