Without a sample schema and some data folks can play with and examples of
your queries, there's not much people can suggest.

It's not clear, but I'm assuming that you actually have indexes on the
columns in your where clause? If not,the DBCC REINDEX doesn't matter one
way or another.

(also, what's lakh?)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh.
| A lakh (also spelled lac) is a unit in a traditional number system, still
| widely used in India, equal to a hundred thousand. A hundred lakh makes

So, when the OP says

> I have a table with 50 lakh row

he means five million rows.
