Yes. This is eligible to be classified as "Cost of Improvement" as per capital gains. I am quoting the lines from Income Tax Act
"Expenses must have actually been incurred - Only those expenses which have been actually incurred by the assessee in making additions and improvements in the property ought to be taken into consideration as ‘cost of improvement’ while computing capital gains under section 55(1)(b) of the Act - Shri Parmanand Bhai Patel & Smt. Jyotsna Devi Patel v. CIT [1984] 149 ITR 80 (MP)."
Hope this helps.
