Hi @TanmoyDas-9282 ,

Per my research, as this post mentioned, the TechNet article Estimate performance and capacity requirements for SharePoint Server 2010 Search provides the following formula to estimate the size of index partitions:

ContentDBSum = Size of content that is crawled.
TotalIndezSize = ContentDBSum * 0.35
QueryComponentIndexSize = TotalIndexSize / Number of index partitions

The factor is not changed in SharePoint 2013. The size of the index ultimately depends on the size and the contents of the documents that are indexed. Text heavy documents will yield a larger index while image heavy documents will yield a smaller index.

Can I calculate the index folder size in all the index partitions?
