I'm only familiar with SSIS (I have a hammer, everything looks like a nail), so I'll only speak to that.

Couple of possibilities:
1  Use a Raw File Source, which does not parse or translate the data, to optimize for speed.
2  Does this file represent a file you've loaded before, with a small subset of changes compared to the overall set?  If so, consider asking the source to send you a change-only file.
1. I have 150 different files
2. I have to load them one by one , each mapped to one unique table in database.
3. I can use SSIS no issues.
I havent received answer to this question yet .....
