NAIROBI, Kenya – Motorists will have to dig deeper into their pockets starting Monday, July 15, after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) revised upwards the prices of fuel in its latest monthly review.
In the new pricing structure, the cost of Super Petrol has increased by Sh8.99 per litre, Diesel by Sh8.67 per litre, and Kerosene by Sh9.65 per litre.
The new pump prices will remain in effect from July 15 to August 14, 2025.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, the Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has calculated the maximum wholesale and retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th July to 14th August 2025,” read part of a statement issued by the regulator.
EPRA attributed the price hike to an increase in the average landed cost of petroleum products.
Super Petrol rose by 6.45%, from $590.24 (Sh76,731) per cubic metre in May 2025 to $628.30 (Sh81,760) in June 2025.
Diesel climbed by 6.27%, while Kerosene registered the highest increase at 6.95%, up from $569.00 (Sh73,930) to $608.54 (Sh79,257) per cubic metre.u
The regulator further explained that Kenya imports all its petroleum products in refined form, which are priced in the global market using international benchmarks.
The upward revision is expected to affect various sectors of the economy, with public transport, manufacturing, and agriculture likely to feel the pinch.
For ordinary motorists, the increase translates to higher commuting costs, with many expected to adjust their travel plans or bear the brunt of increased fuel bills.
This marks the third consecutive month that EPRA has raised fuel prices, deepening concerns over inflation and the rising cost of living in the country.
