when you are transiting you are already inside the 'security zone' so perhaps they don't do another security check?
As someone who flies in and out of Delhi all the time, I can assure you that the security check involves such 'tags'. also procedures for security are standardized across all airports, so it is very unlikely that the process is skipped consistently. I encounter this in the tiniest airports in the country (Trivandrum, Leh) .
Interestingly enough, you can carry your Kindle, phone and/or Ipad in your carry on luggage, but not your laptop. Which doesn't make too much sense, but just the kind of loophole bureaucrats designing security systems come up with.

For what it's worth, they certainly did another check last time I went HKG->DEL->KTM
I'd assume it's just a layout issue with some transits.

I have carried my ThinkPad X250 on flights to-and-from Mumbai, even used them during flight.
