Hi
As per the UK embassy web site, yes you do need the visa.

Please check the web site of UK embassy in India.

Hi

If you are not changing Planes, then you do not require a Transit Visa
(Example: Many Visa holders travel from US to India through LHR do not require a Transit Visa if they do not pass through UK Immigration)

Hi,
I checked the UK embassy site again, it says the visa i needed even if you going to be inside the lounge .as some changes has happened to the rules.
Just to be on the safe side, better call up the UK embassy in Delhi nd confirm with then to avoid any surprise at airport.
Also when you book your ticket check with the airline, not the travel agent .
Best of luck

check with the embassy itself. London and Germany do not require a visa if u have a PR. I did not have my PR but the German embassy told me that as I have my immigration visa to Canada, I do not need a visa.

And everything went fine, and I'm in Canada now.

I don't think you need a transit visa, recently I travelled via frankfurt , I didn't have a transit visa and it would be the same with UK as well unless and until you have to change the airport. If you are flying from New Delhi to London LHR and have a connecting flight from LHR to Canada then I don't think you require.
