You may under the definition of 'capital goods' and 'inputs' in CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 which will make it clear which are capital goods and which are raw materials used as inputs.

In addition to the reply submitted by Mr.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN, you need to check the definition mentioned in VAT Laws, CST Laws, Income Tax Laws, and in Chapter 9 of the FTP as the different definition is provided in different laws and due to their jurisdiction you need to explore further.

Experts have advised to the point and legally. The main difference and In fact basic difference is that raw material in used in manudacturing process, it undergoes change and becomes finished goods are process is completed. Whereas capital goods helps the process to undertake e.g.. machinery - it processes the raw material into finished goods. Thanks.

Through Capital Goods you can generate the revenue to be used in manufacturing of finished goods whereas input becomes the part of finished goods which brings revenue after selling the same.

Both have separate functions and separate purposes. It is ABC for any person who wants to establish a factory.
