In its November fuel pricing review, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has decided to maintain the current fuel prices for super petrol, diesel, and kerosene across the country.
This means that consumers will continue to pay the same prices at the pump for the coming month, offering some relief amid fluctuating global fuel prices.
In Nairobi, the prices will remain as follows:
Super Petrol: Ksh. 184.52 per litre
Diesel: Ksh. 171.47 per litre
Kerosene: Ksh. 154.78 per litre
Meanwhile, in Mombasa, consumers will pay:
Super Petrol: Ksh. 181.24 per litre
Diesel: Ksh. 168.19 per litre
Kerosene: Ksh. 151.49 per litre
These prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) as stipulated under the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024. The adjustment also reflects the revised rates for excise duty, which are aligned with inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
Key Insights from EPRA’s Price Review:
In its statement, EPRA explained that the price regulation framework aims to keep retail prices within reasonable levels, ensuring that petroleum products already available in the country remain affordable for consumers. This regulatory measure is part of the government’s broader effort to shield consumers from price volatility caused by fluctuating international fuel prices.
Notably, the average landed cost for Super Petrol has seen a slight decrease of 0.18%, dropping from US$620.24 per cubic metre in August 2025 to US$619.14 in October 2025.
In contrast, the landed cost of Diesel rose by 1.81%, from US$623.75 per cubic metre to US$635.05 per cubic metre over the same period. Similarly, the cost of Kerosene saw a modest increase of 0.71%, rising from US$627.72 per cubic metre to US$632.16 per cubic metre.
Despite these fluctuations in import costs, the authority has opted to keep domestic retail prices unchanged, citing the importance of stability for consumers, especially considering the global energy market’s volatility.
Looking Ahead:
As global fuel prices remain unpredictable, EPRA’s decision to maintain stable fuel prices comes as a balancing act between managing import cost fluctuations and protecting Kenyan consumers from sharp price hikes. With the festive season approaching, this decision provides some relief to households and businesses that rely on fuel for transportation and energy.
