Thanks Buddy.
Data Collected from Trace file:

IN (SELECT
DISTINCT BATCH_ID FROM
GME_MATERIAL_DETAILS START WITH BATCH_ID = :B2 CONNECT BY PRIOR PHANTOM_ID=BATCH_ID)
AND NVL(STEP_CLOSE_DATE, :B1) > :B1

In the Package there are lots of SQL Statements using CONNECT BY CLAUSE.
Does the use of CONNECT BY Clause degrades performance?
As you can see the Rows Section is 0 but the Query and elapsed time is taking longer
