The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority has announced that maximum retail petroleum prices will remain unchanged from 15th March to 14th April 2026. This follows calculations under Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022.
In Nairobi, the approved pump prices are KSh 178.28 for Super Petrol, KSh 166.54 for Diesel, and KSh 152.78 for Kerosene, effective from midnight for the next 30 days. These prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and excise duty rates adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
