Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has reviewed fuel prices for the next month, effective Sunday, June 15, 2025, to Monday, July 14, 2025.
The review saw the petrol price going up by KShs 2.69 per litre, while diesel and kerosene decreased by KShs 1.95 and KShs 2.06 per litre, respectively.
As a result, a litre of petrol now retails at KShs 177.32, while diesel and kerosene sell at KShs 162.91 and KShs 146.93, respectively, in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
In other towns like Mombasa and Nakuru, a litre of petrol now retails at KShs 174.01 and KShs 176.47 respectively, while diesel sells at KShs 159.62 and KShs 162.41, respectively.
The regulator attributed its decision to a decrease in the average landed cost of imported fuel products.
According to EPRA, the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 0.35% from $588.16 per cubic meter in April 2025 to $590.24 per cubic meter in May 2025.
Diesel decreased by 2.42% from $594.60 per cubic meter to $580.23 per cubic meter, while kerosene decreased by 5.14% from $599.84 per cubic meter to $569.00 per cubic meter over the same period.
The prices include 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 excise duty rates adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
