No. Excise duty not applicable on it if you removed it as such, as we need to charge excise duty under rule 3(5a) and rule 3(5) is purely based on amount of cenvat credit taken on the same and usage period of particular asset. Since, no credit available for clearance of assets against EPCG, no need to charge excise duty under Rule 3(5a).
Thanks and Regards,
