You should only look at the Fixed Asset purchased i.e. the line item called PPE in the cash flow statement. This item will also approximately match with the additions during the year to Gross Block in the Fixed Assets schedule. Investments are usually deployment of surplus cash in liquid funds, bank deposits etc. which is not capex. But sometimes there is a separate line item for long term strategic investments such as acquisitions made during the year. Qualitatively this also should be considered as capex.
