Hey Adarsh, If no downtime then the only way is lock with write on the table, move to the new space, create symlink, flush the table.
Remember, this symlinks will have issues if you execute any maintenance on these tables which are moved. Better idea - As the tables are MyISAM, move one database dir one at a time by locking all tables and create a symlink for the database folder.
