Fuel Prices Remain Unchanged for May-June Period, EPRA Announces
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged for the period between May 15th and June 14th, 2025, despite significant decreases in the landing costs of imported petroleum products.
In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene is Sh174.73; Sh164.86 and Sh148.99 respectively.
The prices will remain in force from May 15, 2025 to June 14, 2025.
Epra attributed the drop to a decrease in average landed cost of imported fuel products.
The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 2.95 per cent from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March 2025 to US$588.16 per cubic metre in April 2025.
Diesel decreased by 6.62 per cent from US$636.75 per cubic metre to US$594.60 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 4.52 per cent from US$628.22 per cubic metre to US$599.84 per cubic metre over 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 the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation,” the authority said.

In the January-February cycle, the price for super petrol rose by by Sh0.29 per litre, diesel by Sh2 per liter, and kerosene by Sh3 per litre.
A litre of petrol will retailed at Sh173.43 in Mombasa, Sh176.58 in Nairobi, Sh175.80 (Nakuru), Sh176.62 (Eldoret and Kisumu).
