The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced new fuel prices, raising the cost of super petrol, diesel, and kerosene by Ksh8.99, Ksh8.67, and Ksh9.65 respectively.
In a statement on Monday, July 14, the authority said the revised prices will take effect from midnight, July 15, and remain in force until August 14.
"In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th July 2025 to 14th August 2025,” the statement read.
EPRA noted that the prices are inclusive of all applicable taxes, including the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT).
“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.

As such, the revised retail prices for Nairobi are Ksh186.31 per litre for super petrol, Ksh171.58 for diesel and Ksh156.58 for kerosene.
"In Nairobi, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene now retail at Kshs.186.31, Kshs.171.58 and Kshs.156.58 effective midnight for the next 30 days,” the statement further added.
EPRA attributed the new pump prices to a notable jump in the average landed cost of petroleum imports over the past month.
"The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 6.45% from US$590.24 per cubic metre in May 2025 to US$628.30 per cubic metre in June 2025; Diesel increased by 6.27% from US$580.23 per cubic metre to US$616.59 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 6.95% from US$569.00 per cubic metre to US$608.54 per cubic metre over the same period,” the regulator reported.
