Hello Tanu!
The drift velocity is just the average velocity of the charge carriers in the conductor. So, as you now see, the drift velocity is proportional to the relaxation time . As the relaxation time increases the drift velocity increases, because the charge carriers have more time to accelerate between collisions.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
