On checking PostgreSQL code, we see it opens all indexes of a relation for every query planning time as in the attachment. If that is the case, it might lead to Performance degradation for relations with many indexes. Is there any other better way to handle this like Scanning/Opening only the indexes related to columns specified in the query?

I’d think you’d need a pretty clear profiling run that points to this as a hot spot before deciding to optimize it. Do you have a query where this is the case?
