No depreciation is not included as depreciation is allocation of part of assets cost to income statement while in capital budgeting, full cost of asset is already included so if depreciation will also be included then there would be double counting of same asset.
it is increasing the incremental cash flow
Incremental Cash flows are included in capital budgeting decision and if capital budgeting decisions require acquisition of money from open market then its financial cost is also relevant for decision making and it is also included in it.
Depreciation is not part of cash budget as this is not cash expense rather it is just the allocation of fixed asset cost to specific fiscal year in which that fixed asset is used so there is no cash outflow due to depreciation and that’s why it is not included.
capital expenditure budget is a part of cash budget.cash budget involves managerial activities while capital expenditure budget involves day to day activities may be for long range or short range
Affect of net income is hard to determine due to any specific assets that's why capital budgeting decision making involves cash flows to determine cost and benefit analysis.

Depreciation is not included in cash flow calculations because it is a non-cash expense that reflects the decrease in value of assets over time. Cash flow calculations focus on actual cash transactions, so depreciation is not considered.
Cash flow rather than net income is used in capital budgeting analysis because the primary concern is with the amount of actual dollars generated. For example, depreciation is subtracted out in arriving at net income, but this non-cash deduction should be added back in to determine cash flow or actual dollars generated.
depreciation is a source of cash. because we charge depreciation in profit and loss but we added back in cash flow. remember one thing that capital expenditure= amount of depreciation
Non cash items like depreciation and amortization should not be included in cash flow statement.
As capital budgeting involve decision making which is for long term time period that's why time value of money imprecations are included while calculating capital budget and that's why present value of actual cash flows are used rather the real value of cash flows.
cash outflows only
