The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged for the period between March 15 and April 14, 2025.

In a statement, EPRA indicated that the maximum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will continue to retail at Ksh176.58, Ksh167.06, and Ksh151.39, respectively. This is despite fluctuations in international petroleum prices and exchange rates.

According to EPRA, the price stability is due to adjustments in landed costs, which determine the final retail prices. The landed cost of Super Petrol increased by 1.34%, from USD 628.80 (Ksh 81,520) per cubic metre in January to USD 637.27 (Ksh 82,710) in February.

Similarly, Diesel’s landed cost rose by 1.41%, from USD 671.14 (Ksh 87,000) to USD 680.63 (Ksh 88,160) per cubic metre. On the other hand, Kerosene prices fell by 1.36%, from USD 681.44 (Ksh 88,320) to USD 672.14 (Ksh 87,120) per cubic metre.

These changes come amid global fluctuations in petroleum prices. Data from EPRA shows that Super Petrol prices have been volatile, peaking at USD 927 (Ksh 120,280) per metric tonne in April 2024 before dropping to USD 726.55 (Ksh 94,280) in February 2025. Diesel and Kerosene have followed a similar trend.

EPRA noted that the prices include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) as per the Finance Act 2023 and other relevant taxation laws. The authority continues to regulate fuel prices to cushion consumers from extreme price fluctuations in the international market.

With fuel prices remaining unchanged, Kenyans can expect stable transportation and production costs for the next month. However, continued monitoring of global crude oil trends and currency exchange rates will determine future price adjustments.
