Can I bring a bankers cheque or DD from singapore bank .
Yes you can. Remember if they are payable in Singapore, i.e. SGD denominated, they will take time to clear; typically around a month.
Alternatively you can approach an Indian Bank in Singapore they can arrange for a Rupee draft payable in city of your choice. The Banks also have a facility of opening an NRE account in the city/Branch of your choice by opening account with wire transfer.

Money can be transferred into your NRO account as well.
You could also use remittance services that provide better exchange rates.
