This is not Eranthemum pulchellum (syn: E. nervosum) commonly grown in Delhi. That species has white bracts with green veins, cuspidate at tip and spike not more than 7.5 cm long.
This is Eranthemum purpurascens Nees with green bracts, many nerved and ciliate along margin
Please see the key jointly developed by … and me. efi thread

in both E. roseum and E. pulchellum the bracts are white with green veins not in this case

Bracts green
The bracts many nerved, white ciliate on margins… E. purpurascens Nees
The bracts few nerved, viscous hairy…………………. E. capens L. var. concanense (T. And. C. B. Cl.) Sant.
