I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want to stop going to /xyz, you can change the DocumentRoot from /var/www/html to /var/www/html/xyz

Actually I have scanned my domain in gtmetrix. It shows www.abc.com is a permanent redirect to www.abc.com/xyz. So i need to cache these landing pages in order to decrease page loading time.

How can i cache redirects?

I still don't get what you're trying to do and how.
I don't think you can cache the redirection, but you can use the 301 response code to tell clients that it's a permanent redirect, so they don't cache the initial URL.
But I still suggest that you should change the DocumentRoot of your site and add /xyz to the end of the old one.

So you mean that I have to avoid rewrite rules and use document root. Right.!?

If you rewrite just / to /xyz without doing something fancy, then yes. Better change the docroot
