This is not correct. T1/T2/T3 are connected airside and you can walk between every gate. SIN T4 is in a separate building, and there is an airside bus.

The question is whether your onward airline (from the clues you provided, perhaps it is IndiGo?) offers check in service at a SIN Transfer Desk. If so, you can stay airside (never having entered Singapore). But if not, plan to explore the airside airport facilities for a few hours, and then enter Singapore immigration at perhaps 2-3 am, and proceed to your landside airline checkin counter to check in, and then back airside for your flight.

Flight Transfer

If you do not have your boarding pass and are eligible for transfer within transit:

Please proceed to your nearest transfer lounge/counter. At the transfer lounge, you may refer to the Transfer Information Passenger Display System (TIPDS) to find out which transfer counter you should approach. The check-in agent at the counter will process your check-in for your departure flight.
