You can avail cenvat credit of capital goods for generation of output service. as per capital goods cenvat rule you take 50% cenvat current financial year ie 2009-10 and remaining 50% cenvat next financial year.2010-11.

The relevant definition relevant for dumpers as per rule 2 (a) (B) is:
"motor vehicle registered in the name of provider of output service for providing taxable service as specified in sub-clauses (f), (n), (o), (zr), (zzp), (zzt) and (zzw) of clause (105) of section 65 of the Finance Act;"
Dumpers, for being eligible for cenvat should satisfy the twin conditions:
1. It should be registered in the name of service provider and
2. Should be used for providing the following services:
1. Courier Services 2. Tour Operator Services 3. Rent a cab Services 4. Cargo Handling Services 5. Goods Transport Agency Services 6. Outdoor Caterer Service 7. Pandal or Shamiana Contractor Services
If the motor vehicle is used for providing any other service, credit is not available.
I fully agree with the view expressed, so far as exavator is concerned.
