Just like you have said, GDP is calculated within the borders, but it is calculated without considering 'who' owns the factors of production; and that's where the subtraction of foriegn invests is ignored.

Company A invests Rs. 100, and generates Rs. 150, with a profit of Rs. 30. If A is local, the addition to GDP is Rs. 50, and if it’s foreign it’s –30, because it has taken back 130. (I’m ignoring the stock splits, and dividends only to make the idea clear. Counting that will reduce, still it will be a negative figure).
