The announcement comes after a review of the maximum retail petroleum prices, which remain unchanged despite a decrease in the average landed costs of imported petroleum products.
“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 15th May 2025 to 14th June 2025,” EPRA said.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged.”
EPRA also outlined the pricing structure in accordance with legal requirements, including taxes.
“The prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent 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 said.
The regulatory authority noted a reduction in the average landed cost of imported fuel.
“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 2.95 per cent from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March 2025 to US$588.16 per cubic metre in April 2025. Diesel decreased by 6.62 per cent from US$636.75 per cubic metre to US$594.60 per cubic metre, while Kerosene decreased by 4.52 per cent from US$628.22 per cubic metre to US$599.84 per cubic metre over the same period,” the authority reported.
EPRA also emphasised the purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations, noting, “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.”
The regulator assured the public of its ongoing commitment to fair competition and the protection of both consumer and investor interests in the energy and petroleum sectors.
“EPRA wishes to assure the public of its continued commitment to the observance of fair competition and protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors,” read the statement.
