The 2,369 km long highway is the longest National Highway of India and one of the significant street networks which connect the south and north India. The National Highway 44 crosses 6 Indian states and passes by huge Indian metropolitan networks like Varanasi, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Madurai. A segment of the NH7 or NH44 is picked as North-South Corridor and Golden Quadrilateral expressway adventures.

A stretch of NH 44 from Kanyakumari to Lakhnadon which is nineteen hundred ten km in length has been enclosed as an extension of the North-South Corridor by the National Highways Development Project.

Around 82 km stretch of NH 44 among Bengaluru and Krishnagiri has been picked as an extension of the Golden Quadrilateral moreover by the National Highways Development Project.
