The boy was admitted at New Delhi's premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences on Jul 2 and died on Tuesday (Jul 20) after a multi-organ failure, a government statement said.
Health workers treating the patient and the boy's family have been kept in isolation, and authorities have launched contact tracing, the statement said.
In Haryana, the boy's home state in India's north, the Animal Husbandry Department has not found any suspected cases of bird flu and has stepped up surveillance, it said.
India has seen more than half a dozen bird flu outbreaks in poultry in the past two decades, all of which were brought under control, with no human cases reported in the country previously.
