Sudhir,

Have you tried this
<apex:outputLink value="https://ap2.salesforce.com/{!opportunity.Id}" id="theLink">{!opportunity.name}</apex:outputLink>
Make sure to populate your instance in place of ap2.salesforce.com

Let us know if you have any issues.

Mark it as best answer if it works.
Thanks.

Hi Sudhir,
<apex:outputLink value="/{!opportunity.Id}" id="oppRecord">{!opportunity.name}</apex:outputLink>
Output link with relative path to opportunity id should work for you without having to worry about the instance of your org and thereby reducing an overhead of manual changes during deployment.
