All expenditures incurred for the purpose of bringing the fixed asset to the present location and condition has to be capitalised. hence it is advisable to capitalise such travelling expenses .

Hi pawan, Dep is charged after the asset is ready for commercial use. It can not be charged on underconstruction assets.

Depreciation is charged only on the assets which are ready for use. In your case asset under construction cannot be depreciated however, they can be impaired if there are indicators of impairment. Thanks
