Motorists will pay slightly less for fuel over the next month after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a KSh 1 per litre reduction in the maximum retail prices of Super Petrol and Kerosene. Diesel prices remain unchanged.
The new prices, which take effect from 15th August to 14th September 2025, are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) as stipulated under the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation.
According to EPRA, the price cuts reflect changes in the global petroleum market. The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol dropped by 0.73% from US$628.30 per cubic metre in June 2025 to US$623.71 in July 2025.
Meanwhile, diesel costs rose by 3.08% from US$616.59 to US$635.58 per cubic metre, and kerosene prices increased by 3.20% from US$608.54 to US$628.02 per cubic metre over the same period.
Kenya imports all its petroleum requirements in refined form, with prices determined by international market benchmarks.
EPRA said the adjustments are in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, ensuring consumers benefit from changes in global fuel costs.
