Fuel prices remain unchanged in latest EPRA monthly review

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged following its latest monthly review.

In a statement on Tuesday, October 14, EPRA confirmed that prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will not change for the pricing cycle running from October 15 to November 14.

“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 October 2025 to 14th November 2025. 

“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged,” the statement read.

In Nairobi, motorists will continue to pay Ksh184.52 for Super Petrol, Ksh171.47 for Diesel, and Ksh154.78 for Kerosene.

 In Mombasa, the same products will retail at Sh181.21, Sh168.19, and Sh151.49 respectively, while in Nakuru, the prices stand at Sh183.56 for Super Petrol, Sh170.87 for Diesel, and Sh154.21 for Kerosene.

In Eldoret, a litre of Super Petrol will retail at Sh184.38, Diesel at Sh171.68, and Kerosene at Sh155.03. Kisumu residents will pay Sh184.37 for Super Petrol, Sh171.68 for Diesel and Sh155.03 for Kerosene.

EPRA clarified that these figures already account for all applicable taxes and levies.

“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,” the statement added.

According to the latest review, fluctuations were recorded in the international prices of refined petroleum products during September.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.10% from US$620.84 per cubic metre in August 2025 to US$620.24 per cubic metre in September 2025; Diesel increased by 1.57% from US$614.08 per cubic metre to US$623.75 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 2.97% from US$609.59 per cubic metre to US$627.72 per cubic metre over the same period,” the statement further read.

EPRA Director General Daniel Kiptoo said the purpose of petroleum pricing regulations is to ensure that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while maintaining reasonable prices for consumers.

“The purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations is to cap the retail prices of petroleum products already in the country so that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers,” he said.

Kiptoo assured the public that the authority remains committed to protecting both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors.

“EPRA wishes to assure the public of its continued commitment to the observance of fair competition and protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors,” he said.
