The girl suffered more than 30 percent burns on her face, neck, arms, and back, the sources said.
She is admitted to the ICU of the Burns and Plastic Surgery Block at the AIIMS.
The sources said she underwent surgery on Thursday and her condition remained critical.
The teenaged girl was attacked on August 5 and was being treated at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi.
A medical board of the state government-run hospital referred her to AIIMS, New Delhi, on Tuesday after examining various test reports, an official of the health facility said.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren had directed officials concerned to extend all support to the girl and her family.
The government has already provided Rs 1 lakh to the girl's family as assistance, a statement from the Chief Minister's Office said.
"Sister Kajal has been sent to Burn Ward of AIIMS Trauma Centre, New Delhi. Praying to God that she returns soon after recovery," Soren had retweeted a post by state Health Minister Banna Gupta.
