Hey buddy according to as -19 if lease is in nature of finance lease than for sure expenditure incurred on construction can be classified as capital expenditure. I will send you more detailed explanation after some time .

HI, you should go by act and read the second proviso the section32 where it is clearly explained that amount spent on construction or incurring any expenditure on leased asset is 100% eligible for depreciation .
