I don't know what "70 lac" means. But if you only add to the table, and never update or delete, vacuum brings nothing for performance. (Although it is necessary for TID wraparound prevention.) However, if your often do range queries on an index that does not correspond to the insertion order, you may benefit from CLUSTERing on that index from time to time.
