Is there any configuration available to stop generation of wixpdb file. Since we do not require that file during deployment.

Just add as per below in your .wixproj file.

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x86' ">
     <OutputPath>bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath>
     <IntermediateOutputPath>obj\$(Configuration)\</IntermediateOutputPath>
     <-- Just Add below line to avoid generation of wixpdb file -->
     <SuppressPdbOutput>true</SuppressPdbOutput>
</PropertyGroup>

See the SuppressPdbOutput setting in the light build task:

Optional boolean parameter.

Specifies that the linker should suppress outputting .wixpdb files. This is 
equivalent to the -spdb switch in light.exe.
