We originally began our operations as a civil construction firm in 1959 as a partnership between the Rodio Foundation Engineering Limited, Switzerland and Hazarat & Company, India under the name of `Rodio Foundation Engineering Limited and Hazarat & Company'. The Partnership Deed was amended from time to time as a result of addition or retirement of partners, and the partnership was registered under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 with the Registrar of Firms, Bombay on July 27, 1961. Subsequently, a company was incorporated under the name of `Asia Foundations and Constructions Private Limited' under the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to a certificate of incorporation dated November 22, 1976 issued by the RoC. Pursuant to an indenture dated March 22, 1977, the entire business and undertaking of the partnership firm i.e., Rodio Foundation Engineering Limited and Hazarat & Company was transferred to our Company as a running concern. Subsequent to the aforementioned transfer, our Company became a deemed public limited company as per Section 43A of the Companies Act, 1956, and the name of our Company was changed from `Asia Foundations and Constructions Private Limited' to `Asia Foundations and Constructions Limited'. Subsequently, the name of our Company was changed from `Asia Foundations and Constructions Limited' to `Afcons Infrastructure Limited' pursuant to a resolution passed in the extraordinary general meeting of our Shareholders held on July 25, 1996, and a fresh certificate of incorporation dated August 14, 1996, was issued to our Company by the RoC. The Company's status was converted from a deemed public company to a public limited company pursuant to a resolution passed in the extraordinary general meeting of our Shareholders held on November 4, 1997, and a fresh certificate of change of name was issued to our Company by the RoC on November 11, 1997.
