EPRA Raises Prices Of Petroleum Products Exponentially For July-August
Fuel prices for super fuel, diesel, and kerosene are poised to skyrocket after the Energy and Petroleum Authority (EPRA) revealed the newest figures.
In the most recent review, EPRA showed that the prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene increased by Ksh8.99, Ksh8.67, and Ksh9.65 per litre, respectively.
Super fuel will cost Ksh186.31, diesel Ksh171.58, and kerosene Ksh156.58 in Nairobi.
EPRA stated that the determined maximum retail pricing for petroleum products will be effective from Monday, July 15, to Thursday, August 14.
“Per 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 June 15 to July 14,” the statement read in part.
“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,” it added.
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.

In Mombasa, super fuel, diesel, and kerosene will be priced at Ksh183.02, Ksh168.30, and Ksh153.29 per liter, respectively.
Prices for super fuel, diesel, and kerosene in Kisumu’s lakeside region have been fixed at Ksh186.15, Ksh171.78, and Ksh156.83 per litre, respectively.
Super petrol in Nakuru will cost Ksh185.33 per litre. Meanwhile, fuel and kerosene will sell for Ksh170.97 and Ksh156.01 per liter, respectively.
In Eldoret, super fuel, diesel, and kerosene will be priced at Ksh186.15, Ksh171.80, and Ksh156.83 a liter.
According to EPRA, the average landing cost of imported super fuel rose by 6.45% from US$590.24 (Ksh76,436) per cubic metre in May 2025 to US$628.30 (Ksh81,169) in June 2025.

Kerosene prices also jumped by 6.95 percent, from US$569 (Ksh73,685) per cubic meter to US$608.54 (Ksh78,616).
This could explain the sharp surge in pricing, which has taken many Kenyans by surprise.
In prior fuel assessments, EPRA had reduced fuel costs, albeit at a slow rate. Few instances of fuel price increases occurred with modest margins.
Despite this, EPRA said that the price of petroleum products was determined by global market trends, as Kenya does neither produce or refine its own petroleum; instead, it imports previously processed fuel from other nations.
