I need to migrate few repositories from another server to the production server. I am planning to migrate using "svnadmin dump" and "svnadmin load" commands. Please note that I am planning to migrate the repositories into a new repositories in production server without touching the existing repositories.

No, the reason for having svnadmin dump/load is to prevent damage.
Just make sure you have plenty of disk space available.

On which server? On the "source" server, I'd recommend it, so that you
don't get any new commits made after you've made the transition.
I'd also recommend you upgrade your Production server. 1.3.x is no
longer supported, nor is 1.4, and 1.4 and later versions of the FSFS
back-end provide the potential for some extra space savings and many
other efficiencies.
