The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has retained fuel prices for the period between October 15 and November 14, 2025, offering motorists a third consecutive month of price stability.
According to the latest review released on Tuesday, Super Petrol will continue retailing at Ksh184.52 per litre, Diesel at Ksh171.47, and Kerosene at Ksh154.78 in Nairobi. The prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value-Added Tax (VAT) as outlined in the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.
EPRA reported that the average landed cost of Super Petrol slightly decreased by 0.10 per cent, from Ksh80,218 (USD 620.84) per cubic metre in August to Ksh80,141.21 (USD 620.24) in September 2025. Conversely, Diesel costs rose by 1.57 per cent to Ksh80,594.74 (USD 623.75), while Kerosene increased by 2.97 per cent to Ksh81,107.70 (USD 627.72) per cubic metre.
Despite these increases, retail pump prices were maintained an indication that other variables such as exchange rate fluctuations and buffer margins influenced the decision. EPRA emphasized that the review was conducted in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019, and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022, which mandate monthly price assessments.
The authority also noted that petroleum products are traded internationally in US dollars, making the performance of the Kenyan shilling a key factor in determining final prices. Kenya imports 100 per cent of its petroleum products in refined form, leaving the country exposed to global market dynamics.
While the unchanged prices offer slight relief to consumers, they come after months of volatility. July 2025 saw one of the largest spikes in more than a year, when petrol, diesel, and kerosene rose by Ksh8.99, Ksh8.67, and Ksh9.65 per litre, respectively. Since then, prices have gradually stabilized — a welcome trend for both households and businesses.
