Motorists will pay Sh1 less for every litre of petrol, while households using kerosene will also see a Sh1 per litre drop, following a fresh review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) that leaves the cost of diesel unchanged.

The new prices, which take effect from Thursday and remain in place until September 14, 2025, were announced in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022.

EPRA stated that “in the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol and Kerosene decreases by Sh1.00 per litre respectively, while the price of Diesel remains unchanged.”

According to the regulator, the pump prices already include the 16 per cent Value Added Tax as stipulated by the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.

The review was influenced by global cost movements, with EPRA noting a decline in the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol by 0.73 per cent, from US$628.30 (about Sh83,624) per cubic metre in June 2025 to US$623.71 (about Sh82,973) in July 2025.

Over the same period, diesel’s cost rose by 3.08 per cent from US$616.59 (about Sh82,035) to US$638.58 (about Sh84,935) per cubic metre, while kerosene’s price increased by 3.20 per cent from US$608.54 (about Sh80,961) to US$628.02 (about Sh83,541) per cubic metre.

The price changes come at a time when households and businesses continue to watch fuel movements closely, as transport, manufacturing and energy costs remain sensitive to fluctuations in pump prices.
