I did run with enable_seqscan off. You are right, the plan shows that
indexscan is not quicker. Here is the explain output.

On the other hand, i have calculated the actual runtime with
enable_seqscan on and off. The runtime is 617 secs & 623 secs
respectively. I have also attached the log details. Is there any way to
increase this speed?
