Madhavaram Milk Colony is a small habitat of 5000+ population in the northern part of Chennai.

A pharmacy major - Retort Laboratories and Herbal Soap manufacturer - Medimix also have their presence here.

Madhavaram Milk Colony, most often called "MMC" or Paalpannai is a neighbourhood located north of Chennai city.

It borders Kodungaiyur to the east, Madhavaram to the west, Moolakadai to the south, and Manali to the north.

This also attracts the views of many peoples, so this place also acts as a shooting spot for many Tamil films.

Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) runs passenger buses to Madhavaram Milk Colony from other major parts of the Chennai city.

The Head Office of Tamil Nadu Co-operative milk producers' Federation Ltd. is located at Aavin Illam near to the Main gate.
