Engagement
A typical post picks up 174 interactions against 5.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 51 original posts, its engagement rate beats 35% of 982 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 13K times each, and 1.36% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.229% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 51 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video and 8% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.8K interactions, about 16x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #harghartiranga, #psbconfluence2026, #nationalhandloomday.

Compared with accounts its own size
Nirmala Sitharaman's engagement rate beats 35% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (982 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 68% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.003%, Nirmala Sitharaman sits above the 10th percentile of the 9,668 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.006%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 92% of posts | +79% | +73% to +84% | 5.7K |
| Outbound link | 8% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.0K |
| Typical length | - | +12% | +10% to +15% | 6.3K |
- 92% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 8% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 423 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 12% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

80th Independence Day celebrations. Hon. PM @narendramodi ji hoisting the tricolour flag. Memorable also because for the first time from the Red Fort vande mataram was played — at the beginning by the military band and at the conclusion with a collective rendering. Our national anthem was duly performed both the times.

मोदी सरकार द्वारा लाया गया टैक्सेशन एवं अन्य कानून (संशोधन) विधेयक, 2026 उस वैधानिक गारंटी को समाप्त कर देता है, जो अब तक UPI लेनदेन को शुल्क-मुक्त बनाए हुए थी। यह मर्चेंट डिस्काउंट रेट (MDR) लगाने का रास्ता खोलता है, जिसे भविष्य में आसानी से सभी प्रकार के डिजिटल भुगतान पर लागू किया जा सकता है। इसका बोझ अंततः आम लोगों पर पड़ेगा, जिन्हें अब UPI के इस्तेमाल के लिए भी भुगतान करना पड़ सकता है। मोदी सरकार का यह दावा कि UPI को वित्तीय रूप से टिकाऊ बनाए रखने का यही एकमात्र रास्ता है, पूरी तरह गलत है। भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक (RBI) के पास UPI प्रणाली को बिना व्यापारियों या उपभोक्ताओं पर कोई अतिरिक्त शुल्क लगाए, वित्तीय रूप से टिकाऊ बनाए रखने की पर्याप्त क्षमता है। 2025-26 में RBI ने मोदी सरकार को 2.86 लाख करोड़ रुपये का सरप्लस ट्रांसफर किया था। इस राशि का केवल एक छोटा-सा हिस्सा ही इस महत्वपूर्ण डिजिटल पब्लिक इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर को सपोर्ट देने के लिए पर्याप्त होता। दरअसल, इस संशोधन के पीछे की असली वजह शायद और भी अधिक चिंताजनक है। यह कदम अमेरिकी व्यापार प्रतिनिधि की 2026 की उस रिपोर्ट के बाद उठाया गया है, जिसमें UPI और RuPay के शुल्क-मुक्त होने की आलोचना की गई थी और आरोप लगाया गया था कि उन्होंने Visa और MasterCard जैसे अमेरिकी भुगतान प्लेटफॉर्मों को बाजार से बाहर कर दिया है। क्या मोदी सरकार अपने अच्छे मित्र डोनाल्ड ट्रंप के दबाव में UPI को कमजोर कर डिजिटल भुगतान क्षेत्र को अमेरिकी कंपनियों के लिए खोलना चाहती है? और ऐसा पहली बार नहीं होगा। डोनाल्ड ट्रंप सार्वजनिक रूप से 100 से अधिक बार दावा कर चुके हैं कि उन्होंने अमेरिकी टैरिफ की धमकी देकर मोदी सरकार पर ऑपरेशन सिंदूर के दौरान अचानक युद्धविराम कराने का दबाव बनाया था। अमेरिका यह भी दावा कर चुका है कि भारत द्वारा रूस से तेल आयात में धीरे-धीरे की जा रही कटौती भी राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप के निर्देशों का परिणाम है। हम यह भी जानते हैं कि मोदी सरकार ने राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप के दादागिरी के आगे झुकते हुए भारत-अमेरिका के बीच ऐसा व्यापार समझौता स्वीकार किया, जिसे व्यापक रूप से अनुचित माना गया और जिसमें विशेष रूप से हमारे किसानों तथा छोटे कारोबारियों के हितों की बलि दी गई।

Today is #NationalHandloomDay, a day that takes us back to the Swadeshi Movement of 1905. In 2015, Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi dedicated this day as National Handloom Day. Handloom is a significant symbol of Indian culture. Every state has a rich handloom tradition. Today, I have chosen to wear an Assamese Mekhela Chador, one of the most comfortable traditional attires. Whether silk or cotton, every handloom speaks of the families who weave them for us. I strongly appeal to everyone to support handloom and support those families who weave them for us. - Smt @nsitharaman explains the significance of #NationalHandloomDay

These are the kind of Bills (The Bankers' Books Evidence Bill, 2026) on which the Opposition should actually take interest and participate. These are very reformatory. These are going to help the country move forward fast. And these are steps on which no one can have a difference of opinion, except if they want to suggest improvements to them. So, it's such a sad state that our Opposition chooses to walk out on these kinds of important debates. - Smt @nsitharaman in Rajya Sabha

- What is Nirmala Sitharaman's engagement rate on X?
- Nirmala Sitharaman (@nsitharaman) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 51 original posts from the last 30 days against 5,572,717 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.003%, Nirmala Sitharaman sits above the 10th percentile of the 9,668 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @nsitharaman have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 35% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (982 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @nsitharaman post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.6 posts per day across the measured window.
