Excise duty exemption claimed

My company is into power generation and has given excise exemption certificate to one of its capital goods supplier. Since the exemption certificate is on the finished goods (for which purchase order was given), the supplier is insisting now to charge 5% more since he cannot avail cenvat on raw materials (inputs). Please guide.

if the exemption is based on any bond, then he can take cenvat credit. 

Exemptn given to Company is not thru any bond... It is by submitting application to Ministry along with necessary papers. No bond involved.
