Any idea why? Is it because the no. of steps for my initial md run is small . Shall I stabilize my configuration for a longer time?
The cut off that I have taken is the value of 'r' at which the minima for LJ exists. Is it ok or shall I increase this too?

That .mdp looks fine for NVE. Use g_energy -w to see the evolution of KE
over time. It is well known that the use of cut-offs induces heating in
the system - i.e. energy is not being conserved. Yours are much longer
than you would use in protein-in-water MD, which is a step in the right
direction, but I don't know how long they are for the system you're
looking at - literature may help here. You would want cut-offs that get
more than a few atoms into the interaction sphere, of course, and that
depends how dilute the gas is.
Another possibility is that the system is not equilibrated straight
after grompp does the gen_vel - it's just sampling velocities from a
distribution, so the result is stochastic. I'd suggest doing a period of
NVT and/or NPT to get the temperature and density correct for the system
you want, and only then switch off the regulation algorithms to get NVE.
