The prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene in Nairobi will remain unchanged at Ksh174.63, Ksh164.86, and Ksh148.99, respectively.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene fuel products for the upcoming month, set to take effect at midnight tonight, will remain unchanged.

In its most recent fuel price review released on Wednesday, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) stated that the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene in Nairobi will remain unchanged at Ksh174.63, Ksh164.86, and Ksh148.99, respectively.

In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th May 2025 to 14th June 2025,'' the statement read in part.

"The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020."

In Mombasa, the prices for super petrol, diesel, and kerosene have been set at Ksh171.39, Ksh161.62, and Ksh145.75, respectively.

Meanwhile, in Kisumu, the same fuels will retail at Ksh174.67 for super petrol, Ksh165.24 for diesel, and Ksh149.42 for kerosene.

The average landed cost of imported super petrol dropped by 2.95 percent, from Ksh78,181.74 (US$606.06) per cubic metre in March 2025 to Ksh75,872.64 (US$588.16) in April 2025. 

Diesel costs fell by 6.62 percent, from Ksh82,140.75 (US$636.75) to Ksh76,703.40 (US$594.60), while kerosene declined by 4.52 percent, from Ksh81,040.38 (US$628.22) to Ksh77,379.36 (US$599.84) per cubic metre during the same period.

EPRA noted that fuel prices in Kenya are determined by global market trends, as the country imports refined petroleum products due to its lack of domestic production or refining capacity.

The stable fuel prices offer Kenyans brief relief, with transport and vehicle-related costs holding steady, given fuel's significant role in travel expenses. However, many are now closely watching global oil price trends and anticipating EPRA’s next review to see what changes might come in the following month.

Last month, EPRA lowered fuel prices by up to Ksh2.40, with Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene recording decreases by Ksh1.95, Ksh2.20 and Ksh2.40.
