Maybe you should fixed/recheck your algorithm.

For example:
If you want to insert 80 lacs ( I do not get what lacs is ), used some buffer strategy. In case, put you 10 lacs in a List, save, then clear the list ( list.clear() ) to put next 10 lacs. Do it repeatedly until 80 lacs.

I would expect 80 crore to overwhelm your memory, but not 80 lakh.
Have you got some sort of recursion which doesn't terminate?

Actually, how long is each line?
80 lakh * 100 Bytes is about 800MB so even 80 lakh might overwhelm your resources.
What sort of table are you inserting into? A database? Are you using anything which maintains the lines in memory after you have inserted them? If you are inserting into a database, is there any delay in the database? Can you put a tiny delay between successive lines? Can you split the process so as to insert 1 line at a time?

And lakh (also spelt lac) = 100000
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
