Kenyans will continue to pay the same amount for fuel after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) maintained current pump prices in its latest monthly review.
In the pricing period from May 15 to June 14, 2025, the maximum pump prices will remain at Sh174.73 for Super Petrol, Sh164.86 for Diesel, and Sh148.99 for Kerosene.
EPRA attributed its decision to retain prices to a decline in the average landed cost of imported fuel products, rather than local market factors.
The average landed cost of Super Petrol fell by 2.95 per cent, dropping from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March 2025 to US$588.16 in April.
Diesel recorded a 6.62 per cent decline from US$636.75 to US$594.60, while Kerosene went down by 4.52 per cent from US$628.22 to US$599.84 per cubic metre during the same period.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene remain unchanged. The prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent VAT, in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation,” EPRA said in a statement.
