I am not 100% sure but judging by general trends I'd say most of Delhi's RECENT population increase is due to migration (rural-urban) within the country.

Historically, I suspect there have been economic reasons for people to settle and continue to prosper in Delhi. Poverty can play a very big role in the rate of population increase - also explaining why a city such as Delhi may have such a high population today.
