GDP is the goods and services produced within the domestic territory of the country, so imported items are not part of GDP.
Investment in the Indian economy means the value of capital goods that the economy will get in a particular period whether by domestic production or through imports. This is because, whatever capital equipment we import, also helps in increasing future production.
So, investment in India is equal to capital goods produced in India plus imported capital goods minus exported capital goods. For a detailed understanding, you can refer to the book on Indian Economy by Vivek Singh.
