In de Prithvirajaraso wordt de Rajputheerser Anangpal genoemd als de stichter van Delhi. Hij zou de Lal-Kot hebben gebouwd en tevens de IJzeren Pilaar naar de stad hebben gebracht. Tussen 900 en 1192 was Delhi een kleine vestingstad onder opeenvolgende Rajputdynasties. De naam "Dhilli" of "Dhillika" verschijnt voor het eerst op een inscriptie uit 1170 uit Udaipur. De verovering van de stad door de islamitische krijgsheer Qutbuddin Aibak in 1192 zou zowel het lot van de stad als de geschiedenis van India aanzienlijk veranderen. Qutbuddin stichtte in 1206 het sultanaat Delhi, waarvan Delhi de hoofdstad was. Het was voor het eerst sinds Harsha in de 7e eeuw dat het noorden van India verenigd werd. Het hoogtepunt van het sultanaat kwam in de 14e eeuw, toen onder de sultans Alauddin Khalji en Muhammad bin Tughluq ook grote delen van de Dekan en het zuiden van India werden veroverd. Toen de Marokkaanse ontdekkingsreiziger Ibn Battuta de stad in 1334 bezocht trof hij een bruisende metropool. Het economische wanbeleid van Muhammad bin Tughluq putte de schatkist echter uit en er braken opstanden uit op het platteland, die op hun beurt hongersnood tot gevolg hadden. De veroverde gebieden gingen weer verloren omdat de gouverneurs zich onafhankelijk verklaarden na het uitblijven van soldij. Het sultanaat herstelde zich enigszins in de latere 14e eeuw, maar daaraan kwam een abrupt einde toen in 1398 de Centraal-Aziatische krijgsheer Timoer Lenk India binnenviel en de stad plunderde.
