Yes. Land levelling expenses should be capitalised as it can be treated as Land Preparation Cost

What about capital gain treatment?

If it is a land, then levelling a land adds value to the property, and therefore it will be considered as an improvement. The cost of levelling shall be treated as cost of improvement in computing capital gain.
