Though, pertaining to this matter, judgments are either side.  Keep the Department informed about such initiative, if you are willing to avail the CENVAT credit.

Though the judgment are very old.  You may refer the latest notification no.18/2012-NTdtd. 17th March 2012.

AI Summary

Cenvat credit on construction materials is contested; taxpayers should notify the tax authority before claiming credit. Whether CENVAT credit is available in the first year for raw materials purchased to construct storage tanks by a storage and warehousing service provider is contested; responses note conflicting judicial authority, advise informing the tax department before availing the credit, and point to a recent government notification for guidance.
