\nIndia’s National Highway network has undergone significant renumbering since 2010. Under the new system, NH numbers and routes are entirely different from the old system. For example, the new NH 4 runs from Krishnagiri (TN) to Belagavi (KA). This question likely refers to the old numbering scheme, as the city pairs align more with those routes, albeit incorrectly matched.
