The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a reduction in fuel prices in its latest review.

"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 September 2025 to 14th October 2025," the statement read.

According to EPRA, the prices include a 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) and the revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation.
"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 further read.
EPRA also attributed the drop in local prices to the global landing costs of petroleum products.
"The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.46% from US$623.71 per cubic metre in July 2025 to US$620.84 per cubic metre in August 2025; Diesel decreased by 3.38% from US$635.58 per cubic metre to US$614.08 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 2.93% from US$628.02 per cubic metre to US$609.59 per cubic metre over the same period," the statement read.
Notably, this comes a month after EPRA shut down 8 petrol stations across the country for selling adulterated fuel.
