When it is ready next year the Gothic-style tower will stand 135m (443 feet) tall, the firm says, dwarfing other clock towers around the world.

Currently the tallest free-standing clock tower is thought to be the 100m-high Old Joe in Birmingham in the UK

Big Ben in London is just 96m in height (and is not free-standing anyway)

It is not clear if the Infosys clock will chime on the hour, as Big Ben does.
