EPRA Announces New Fuel Prices for June–July
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has released the new fuel prices for the period between June 15 and July 14, 2025, and there is a mix of changes affecting motorists across the country.
According to EPRA’s latest review published on Saturday, June 14, the price of super petrol has gone up, while diesel and kerosene prices have gone down.
Super petrol will now cost Ksh2.69 more per litre. At the same time, diesel has been reduced by Ksh1.95 per litre, and kerosene has dropped by Ksh2.06 per litre.
This means that in Nairobi, the revised prices are as follows: super petrol will now retail at Ksh177.32 per litre, diesel at Ksh162.91 per litre, and kerosene at Ksh146.93 per litre.
EPRA noted that these new prices were calculated based on the law and will be in effect from Saturday, June 15, until Monday, July 14, 2025. “In line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022, we have determined the maximum allowable retail prices for petroleum products to be applied between June 15 and July 14,” the statement read.
The authority also emphasized that these new prices include a 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) as required under the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and also reflect revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation according to Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
Across different towns in Kenya, the fuel prices have also been adjusted to reflect transport and distribution costs.
In Mombasa, the cost of super petrol will be Ksh174.01 per litre, diesel will go for Ksh159.62, and kerosene will retail at Ksh143.64 per litre. Meanwhile, residents in Kisumu will pay Ksh177.28 for super petrol, Ksh163.23 for diesel, and Ksh147.30 for kerosene.
In Nakuru, the revised prices are Ksh176.47 for super petrol, Ksh162.41 for diesel, and Ksh146.47 for kerosene per litre.
Eldoret residents will buy super petrol and diesel at Ksh177.28 and Ksh163.24 per litre respectively, while kerosene will cost Ksh147.30 per litre.
The new pricing comes after a change in the international market prices of fuel. EPRA stated that the average landed cost of imported super petrol went up slightly by 0.35%, rising from US$588.16 (Ksh76,166) per cubic metre in April 2025 to US$590.24 (Ksh76,436) in May 2025.
On the other hand, diesel prices dropped by 2.42%, falling from US$594.60 (Ksh77,000) to US$580.23 (Ksh75,139) per cubic metre. Kerosene saw an even larger drop, with prices going down by 5.14%, from US$599.84 (Ksh77,679) to US$569.00 (Ksh73,685) per cubic metre over the same period.
EPRA explained that Kenya relies entirely on fuel imports, as the country neither produces nor refines its own petroleum. Therefore, the prices are heavily influenced by global fuel market trends and international shipping costs.
While some Kenyans may welcome the drop in diesel and kerosene prices, those who rely on petrol-powered vehicles will feel the pinch from the price hike. As fuel prices continue to fluctuate, Kenyans are now watching the global oil market closely, awaiting the next pricing update from EPRA in July.
