The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has reduced fuel prices for the period from April to May 14, 2025.

In a statement on Monday, April 14, 2025, the regulator announced that retail prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will reduce by Ksh1.95/litre, Ksh2.20/litre and Ksh2.40 per litre respectively.

“In accordance with 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 15thApril 2025 to 14th May 2025.

“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene decreases by Ksh1.95/litre, Ksh2.20/litre and Ksh2.40/litre respectively,” EPRA’s statement read in part.

Following the review, Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will retail at Ksh174.63, Ksh164.86 and Ksh148.99 in Nairobi.

In Mombasa, Super Petrol will be sold at Ksh171.39, Diesel at Ksh161.62 and Ksh145.75 for Kerosene.

The new prices will take effect at midnight for the next 30 days

Before the review, the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene were retailing at Ksh176.58, Ksh167.06, and Ksh151.39, respectively.

Reason for reduction

According to EPRA’s Director General, Daniel Kiptoo, the landing cost of fuel reduced during the period, which informed the decision to lower retail prices in the country for the next 30 days.

“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,” the statement read in part.

“The average landed cost of importod Super Petrol decreased by 4.89% from 155637.22 per cubic metre in February 2025 to US$606.06 per cubic metre in March 2025; Diesel decreased by 6.45% from US$680.63 per cubic metre to US$636.75 per cubic metre while Kerosene decreased by 6.53% from US$672.14 per cubic metre to US$628.22 per cubic metre over the same period,” it added.

Global oil prices have also reduced significantly to a four-year low, driven by the a combination of economic slowdowns and anticipated supply increases.

This was captured by the Central Bank of Kenya in their weekly review, giving relief to fuel consumers.

“International oil prices declined, with Murban oil trading at USD 64.77 per barrel on April 10 from USD 71.86 per barrel on April 3, reflecting concerns over the impact of US tariffs on global demand and increased production of oil in major oil exporting countries,” CBK stated in their weekly review.
