Vat on works contract in orissa

Dealer in Orissa is regd under VAT act having valid T I N for execution of works contract and supply of plant machinery. Dealer

effects purchase from outside state of Orissa and supplies goods to steel plant. No bills raised for this supply . Civil works executed .Labour percentage claimed at 30 % and balance taxable at 13.5% output vat .  Bills raised and payments received and Input vat claimed on local purchaes . Dealer claims the goods(that were supplied to steel plant)  were USED IN EXECUTION of works contract and claims no liability of payment of VAT .

My understanding is as dealer has effected purchases from outside the state of Orissa he has to pay entry tax and also raise bill locally of supply to the steel plant and show output vat and then go ahead and claim input and pay balance . Am I correct ?
