Swapna While the disk space does increase during the process of optimization, it should almost always return to the original size or slightly less.
This is a silly question. But off the top of my head, I can't think of any other reason why the index size would increase - Are you running a <commit/> after adding documents? If you are, you might want to compare the size of each document being currently indexed with the ones you indexed a few months back. To optimize the index, simply post <optimize/> to Solr.
