Fuel prices are to remain unchanged between October 15 and November 14, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced.
The latest review released on Tuesday will see the pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene retail at Ksh184.52, Ksh171.47 and Ksh154.78, respectively, in Nairobi.
The latest pump prices are inclusive of a 16 per cent Value-Added Tax as per the provisions of the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act of 2024.
According to EPRA, the average landed cost of Super Petrol decreased by 0.10 per cent from Ksh80,218 (USD 620.84) per cubic metre in August to Ksh80,141.21 (USD 620.24) in September 2025.
Diesel, however, rose by 1.57 per cent from Ksh79,345.28 (USD 614.08) to Ksh80,594.74 (USD 623.75) per cubic metre over the same period.
Kerosene increased by 2.97 per cent from Ksh78,765.12 (USD 609.59) to Ksh81,107.70 (USD 627.72) per cubic metre.
Despite the rising landed costs for Diesel and Kerosene, retail prices were maintained, suggesting that other variables were taken into consideration during the October review, including exchange rates and buffer margins.
The pricing review was conducted in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019, and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022, which mandates monthly evaluations of local fuel prices.
"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 retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from October 15 2025 to November 14 2025.
In the latest review, EPRA noted that petroleum products are traded internationally in US dollars; hence the performance of the Kenyan shilling is a crucial factor in determining the final pump prices.
Notably, Kenya continues to import 100 per cent of its petroleum requirements in refined form, leaving the country vulnerable to price shifts depending on global oil markets.
While prices remained unchanged, this marks the third consecutive month without an increase, offering Kenyans some relief - albeit very marginally.
July experienced the largest spike in pump prices in more than a year, as the prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene increased by Ksh8.99, Ksh8.67, and Ksh9.65 per litre, respectively. Since then, prices have been on a steady decline.
