Yes u can get the credit

Hello,

Rent paid to install mobile towers, which are used for boosting signals to provide telecom services, amount to 'input service' for telecom companies; hence, service tax paid on said rent is eligible for credit 

But excise duty paid on mobille tower will not be eligible for credit.
