EPRA maintain fuel prices unchanged on subsidies

NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 14 – Fuel prices will remain unchanged for the next month following the latest review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA).

A litre of super petrol will continue retailing at Sh184.52, supported by a Sh0.48 subsidy. Diesel will remain at Sh171.47 after a Sh2.33 fuel stabilization adjustment, while kerosene stays at Sh154.78 backed by Sh4.24 in price support.

“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA announced.

“The average landed cost of imported Super Petrol decreased by 0.18% from US$620.24 per cubic metre in September 2025 to US$619.14 per cubic metre in October 2025; Diesel increased by 1.81% from US$623.75 per cubic metre to US$635.05 per cubic metre while Kerosene increased by 0.71% from US$627.72 per cubic metre to US$632.16 per cubic metre over the same period.”

This marks the second consecutive month EPRA has held pump prices steady through subsidies, cushioning consumers from potential increases.

Fuel costs remain a key driver of the Kenyan economy, affecting transport, agriculture and other sectors. Any upward adjustment typically raises production and consumer costs across the board.
