Here is the notification for United, which cancelled UA 82 from EWR to DEL on May 6, 2025.
For the moment, the flights for May 7, 2025, show as operational. American Airlines has cancelled the Delhi to New York JFK flight on May 7, 2025, and will fly the plane back empty to the US, with their crew on board.

Bottomline
International travellers to Delhi should check the Delhi flight status before they check in for their flight over the next few days, as this situation hopefully settles down. For the moment, American Airlines and United cancelled their flights on May 6, 2025 to operate to Delhi.
