Yes, but you must wait 3-4 hours to swipe again at the same lounge. Otherwise, it won't allow multiple swipes. Regalia does not have complimentary guest access, so you will be charged for guest access.

True but unfortunate. The priority pass that comes with it does allow guest access complimentary but only for international lounges.
This is what they say for Priority Pass:
- Using Priority Pass, you and your add on member can together avail up to 6 Complimentary Lounge Access per calendar year, outside India.
Priority pass is separate for addons. There is no free guest visits in any hdfc credit card priority pass not even infinia

I don't get this. Are you saying that the add on member cannot access free lounge outside India using their separate priority pass?

Yes, request an add on card using net banking and then request a PP for them via email/phone/instagram dm.
Addon can access using their separate pp. But no free guest visits like magnus

My bad. I wanted to mention add on and confused myself mentioning guest.
thanks to all of you for your valuable contribution.
as I understand, for domestic lounge access, the primary card cannot be swiped twice back-to-back to get two access. but, for intl lounge, need to have addon card and pp for addon and that pp can be used to get intl lounge access.
correct me if I am wrong.
another follow-up question:
from the following link, is point number 1 & 2 still valid? asking because the article is few years old.

Priority Pass should not be used in India (unless there are some that don’t charge for using in India that I don’t know of). For lounges in India, use an Indian CC or DC that has complementary access (there are so many).another follow-up question:

You can ask the Lounge Incharge about that, sometimes they swipe the same card on two different machines so that the second swipe isn't charged
My bad. I didn't mention that I want to use PP Internationally.
So, if you just replace Indian lounge with International lounge, will trick 1&2 still work at International lounge?

Which bank's PP do you have? With HDFC Regalia I got one for myself and one for my wife. There's no trick that we have to apply. Both PPs have different numbers and can be swiped at the same time at the same lounge outside India.
Mine is hdfc regalia pp.
I don't have any addon card to apply for pp. Even if I get pp with addon, then name will be different, so I guess I cannot use it.
I have upcoming travel, with long layover at Changi (around 12 hours) . So, trying to find ways to use lounge multiple times with 1 pp.

There are several lounges in Changi. You can just use the facilities of another lounge after the access time limit(3-4 hours).
That's great. Hope I won't get charged.
Problem with bank issued pp is that we don't get to know from which quota (free/paid) the access been made. And would anxiously hope that it won't get charged in statement.

I was in a similar situation few years back at Sharjah, UAE and the lady said if I wanted to stay in more than 3 hours I could swipe again. I stayed for around 4 hours (slept, had late dinner, early breakfast, took shower). No one asked to swipe again so I did not. Now that's totally on the lounge staff but you can ask them if swiping again after 3-4 hours work. Also, there's a lot to do at Changi and you can easily kill some time without having to worry much.

@telescope by the way if it's day time, you can go out and explore the city quickly if you haven't been there already multiple times. Getting visa is easy and if you have certain visa (USA, Australia etc) you don't have to get a visa, there's something called VFTF I guess.
Actually my plan was to take the free city tour before catching my connecting flight.
Sadly, I don't have those visas and my singapore visa was also rejected.
I would miss visiting Jewel.
