Hi, With respect to the date of capitalisation there are few principles when you read AS6,AS10 and also the principles on IFRS IAS 16 a) When a new project is capitalized, the criteria for capitalization date is the date of Commercial production. Thus when there are many mahcineries/assets constructed or purchased and thereafter a trial run is done, the capitalization date will be the date of final approved commercial production complying with all the output quality norms. b) For additions made to existing plant for replacements or extension will be based on the date of putting into use. So the date will be the start date of using the machine.
You can accordingly apply the principles in your case.
