One of my production RDS instance is scheduled for hardware maintenance. This instance is hosted in the single availability zone and storing the huge data. Now I'm worried that I cannot postpone the maintenance. Is there anyway I can reduce the downtime?
What happens during the hardware upgrade?

Pay for redundancy.

Nobody knows. Well, obviously Amazon does - but they don't tell you the details. It may be networking or server upgrades. Or UPS changes. Or whatever. That's part of the cloud; you buy a service, not a particular piece of hardware.
