In April 2020, Swiggy has partnered with TNCMPFL popularly known as 'AAVIN', to retail and sell its dairy and dairy products and as per this understanding Swiggy would make doorstep delivery of Aavin products across eight categories from 21 outlets across Chennai city.[4] In July 2020, AAVIN in a new initiative, had invited drivers of autos and call taxis to work as its 'mobile agents' across Tamil Nadu, which it hopes will increase the sales of its milk products besides supporting the drivers in earning their livelihood, as currently they are struggling to make ends meet amid the COVID-19 lockdown.[5] As per company reports for the year 2020, Aavin procures about 40 lakh litres of milk a day, of which 25 lakh litres are being sold as milk while the remaining is being converted into various milk products such as skimmed milk powder, ice creams, buttermilk, curd, ghee and butter.[5] The company reported the annual turnover of ₹5800 crore for 2019-20 and monthly sales of milk increased from ₹34.78 crore to ₹41.15 crore.[5]

The first Hi-Tech Aavin parlour in Coimbatore will open in March 2021.[8]
In February 2021, Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami laid the foundation stone for two major Aavin plants to be constructed at Virudhunagar
