Usually php just transfer's the mail right to your sendmail queue.

I think it has to do with your sendmail service, it may be taking a while for it to send the email out.

Please suggest how to reduce this time. Beacuse it affecting my whole project.

i would speak with you service provider and ask then why there is a lag. if it is in-house than speak with your IT. it could be that you just don't have a high enough speed connection or something similar that when many people at once try to activate the form section than it lags a bit. check with your service provider. php is server side so it should work as fast as your server works. check with IT though and see what they say
