Now I am able to save geo point. See the complete code to achieve this.

const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const serviceAccount = require(process.env.FBASE_AUTH_FILE);
admin.initializeApp({
    credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
    databaseURL: "https://<PROJECT_ID>.firebaseio.com"
});
const Firestore = admin.firestore;
const db = Firestore();
let d = new Date();
let data = {                
    name: 'Amit',
    location: new admin.firestore.GeoPoint(28.52038,77.28073),
    created_at: d.getTime()
}
setDoc = db.collection('users').doc().set(data);
if (setDoc) {
    console.log('user added');
}
