As per Explanation 1 of rule 7 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 “unit” includes the premises of a provider of output service and the premises of a manufacturer including the factory, whether registered or otherwise.

Therefore your Gujarat plant can take cenvat credit of service tax and utilize the duty amount for dispatch the material in domestic markets.

I agree with Rajagopalan sir. Also take care of ISD process before distribution of cenvat credit.
