Lychee and strawberry's plant: Is it possible to get these plants in delhi. If so can you please advice the
plant nursery and its locality.

Litchi does not do that well in Delhi, and as such may be grown only in some private gardens. You can try Govt. Sunder Nursery (Near Lodhi Road), Supreme Nursery near India Gate, Jagdish Nursery, Roshan Ara Road, Maheshwari Nursery, Saket and Delhi Gate. 
For Strawberry you will have to wait till September October, when conditions for its growth return, you may try the same nurseries.

---

Litchi is well under cultivation in Dehradun and if possible you can get it in any nursery there 

---

Try Rajdhani Nursery in Jorbagh, New Delhi.

Lychee: I have two Lychee tree in my garden propagated from seeds.
These are about ten years old but not flowered yet. At what age they start bearing fruit? Are they ever going to flower?

---

.., the tree grown from seed takes more time than the grafted one.  If you are putting water daily, then try putting water alternate days.  It induces some stress in the tree and it produces flowers and fruits. Also put some fish emulsion around the tree which is good for fruit production and immediately after putting the fish emulsion water the tree.
