Credit cards with widest lounge network

[wizardArrived]

I'm wondering which credit card / bank/ network has the widest coverage of lounges in india?
I'm seeing most comparisons are geared towards number of access, but neglects the guest access, eligible lounges. I can have a card with unlimited lounge access, but what's the point if the lounges in my city does not accept them.
If anyone has done any analysis based on this parameters, would love to know that

Detailed analysis would be tricky as there are too many variables and they change quite frequently,

However if you're looking for quick fix answer than below cards have widest lounge network

SBI Cards - Prime, Elite, Doctor's - Wide domestic lounge access

BOB Eterna - Visa variant has widest domestic lounge access

PSU Banks Rupay Credit (and Debit Cards) - Great Lounge list access, credit cards get DEL T3 Rupay Exclusive lounge based on spends

HDFC Infinia with it's Priority Pass, Diners Black Metel & PVC - works almost everywhere

Diners has the best lounge network. No guest access though or never used it for guests.

No, not immediate need. Just wanted to see if someone has done an analysis over the same.
I found https://www.loungeaccess.in/ helps, but it does not list everything down. Maybe, I'll sit and prepare an analysis someday.

Just closed my hdfc Millennia Diners🥲. Had Diners clubmiles which got upgraded to Millennia, never faced a decline at any lounges I tried(before hdfc de valued the whole thing)

If I had an option to retain Diners (DCB) as an additional HDFC card, I wouldn't have upgraded it. I don't remember me denied lounge access ever while travelling domestically and internationally with Diners. The only downside, as many pointed out, is its acceptability in certain countries like Indonesia, Php, certain European countries etc. which leaves you longing for Infinia or its likes.
