Hi Kiranc
The datasheet you can find online for GSM7248 is M4100 series current model GSM7248v2h2.
If your model is GSM7248v1 from 2010, maximum power draw was 71 watts with all ports used, maximum traffic on all ports. The power draw you can see in your installation seems consistent with minimal activity. There is nothing material to be done for lowering the power consumption more.
For less power draw, you may want to consider more modern platform with power saving features, like M4100 series models.
I hope this helps,
