Fuel prices remain unchanged in November EPRA review

In a statement, EPRA said the decision comes amid slight fluctuations in international petroleum costs.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged with super petrol, diesel, and kerosene retailing at Sh184.52, Sh171.47, and Sh154.78 per litre in Nairobi, respectively.

In Mombasa, super petrol will retail at Sh181.24, diesel at Sh168.19, and kerosene at Sh151.49 per litre for the period between November 15 to December 14.

In a statement, EPRA said the decision comes amid slight fluctuations in international petroleum costs.

"In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, EPRA has calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from November 15 2025, to December 14, 2025. In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene remain unchanged," the statement reads in part.

EPRA noted that the average landed cost of imported super petrol decreased by 0.18 per cent, from $620.24 per cubic metre in August 2025 to $619.14 in October 2025. Diesel recorded a 1.81 per cent increase, rising from $623.75 to $635.05 per cubic metre, while kerosene went up by 0.71 per cent, from $627.72 to $632.16 per cubic metre over the same period.

The regulator emphasised that the prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT), in line with the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation.

Kenya imports all its petroleum products in refined form, and local pump prices are determined based on international market trends and the prevailing US dollar–Kenya shilling exchange rate.

The authority also monitors international petroleum prices and Murban crude oil trends to inform these calculations.

Daniel Kiptoo, EPRA Director General, assured the public of the authority’s commitment to fair competition and protection of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors.

"The purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations is to cap the retail prices of petroleum products which are already in the country so that importation and other prudently incurred costs are recovered while ensuring reasonable prices to consumers," said Kiptoo.
