As long as the land on which consruction was not done constitute the same factory as existing before cut off date, in my opinion, you can avail the exemtion for the production with new machinery.

AI Summary

Excise exemption may continue if expansion forms the same factory, allowing new machinery production subject to cut off date. If the land on which new construction and machinery installation occur constitutes the same factory as that existing before the cut off date, the excise exemption available to the existing unit may be availed for production using the newly installed machinery.
