The paper reported his latest wife - his third - is 45 years younger and delivered male twins last month, but only one boy survived.
Jat celebrated the birth of the surviving son with a feast for villagers and said he will try for more children.
The octogenarian, who is a vegetarian and has never smoked cigarettes or drunk alcohol, is ready to share his knowledge with others.
"I do it daily and the best time for intercourse is between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.," Jat, whose first wife, 85, still lives with him and his new wife, told the newspaper.
