EPRA reduces fuel and kerosene prices by KSh 1 per litre while keeping diesel prices unchanged

EPRA lowered the prices of super petrol and kerosene by KSh 1 per litre, retaining the price per litre of diesel.

"During the review period, the maximum allowable pump prices for Super Petrol and Kerosene have each decreased by KSh 1 per litre, while the price of Diesel remains unchanged," read the EPRA report in part.

This means that, in Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will retail at KSh 185.31, KSh 171.58 and KSh 155.58 per litre, respectively, effective midnight for the next 30 days.

In Mombasa, a litre of super petrol will retail at KSh 182.03, diesel at KSh 168.30 and kerosene at KSh 152.29.

In Nakuru, super petrol will retail at KSh 184.35 per litre, diesel at KSh 170.97 per litre and kerosene at KSh 155.01 per litre.

Eldoret and Kisumu residents will pay KSh 185.17, KSh 171.80 and KSh 155.83 per litre of petrol, diesel and kerosene, respectively.

The regulator noted that the prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT), as provided for in 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.

What's the current landed cost


EPRA revealed a decline in the average landed cost for super petrol by 0.73% from US$628.30 per cubic metre in June 2025 to US$623.71 per cubic metre in July 2025.

However, landed cost for diesel increased by 3.08% from US$616.59 per cubic metre to US$638.58 per cubic metre, while Kerosene increased by 3.20% from US$608.54 per cubic metre to US$628.02 per cubic metre..

The announcement came a month after the authority increased pump prices for all petroleum products.

What are the previous pump prices?


In July 2025, EPRA increased the prices of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene by KSh 8.99, KSh 8.67 and KSh 9.65 per litre, respectively.

This saw a litre of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene increase to KSh 186.31, KSh 171.58 and KSh 156.58, respectively.

The regulator attributed the increase in pump prices to a sharp rise in the landed cost of petroleum products between May and June 2025.
