NAIROBI, Kenya – The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has kept fuel prices unchanged in its latest monthly review, offering a rare reprieve for motorists and households amid ongoing economic pressures.
In a statement on Thursday, the regulator announced that the cost of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will remain at Sh176.58, Sh167.06, and Sh151.39 per litre in Nairobi, respectively, for the pricing cycle from March 15 to April 14, 2025.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA said.
The prices, which take effect from midnight, include 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) as mandated by the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the latest excise duty adjustments tied to inflation under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
Fuel prices will continue to vary across major cities due to transport costs.
In Mombasa, motorists will pay Sh173.34 for Super Petrol, while Nakuru residents will pay Sh175.80. The price in Kisumu and Eldoret is set at Sh176.62.
For Diesel, Nairobi prices remain at Sh167.06, while Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu will see slight variations at Sh168.82, Sh166.63, Sh167.45, and Sh167.44, respectively.
Kerosene, which is crucial for low-income households, will retail at Sh151.82 in Kisumu and Eldoret, Sh151.01 in Nakuru, Sh151.39 in Nairobi, and Sh148.15 in Mombasa.

The decision to maintain prices comes amid global crude oil market fluctuations and domestic tax measures that continue to shape Kenya’s fuel pricing.
While the stability in prices offers temporary relief, consumers remain wary of future adjustments as international oil prices and exchange rates continue to fluctuate.
