Starting midnight on June 15, 2025, Kenyans will face new fuel prices for the next 30 days, as announced under Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) revealed that Super Petrol prices will rise by KSh 2.69 per litre, while Diesel and Kerosene prices drop by KSh 1.95 and KSh 2.06 per litre, respectively.
In Nairobi, motorists will now pay KSh 177.32 for Super Petrol, KSh 162.91 for Diesel, and KSh 146.93 for Kerosene. These figures include the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT), adjusted excise duty rates, and inflationary changes as outlined in the Finance Act 2023 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024.
The mixed adjustments come as a relief for Diesel and Kerosene users but increase the burden on private car owners who rely on Super Petrol. While Diesel remains pivotal for transport and agriculture, the reduction could stabilize operational costs for businesses. The drop in Kerosene prices offers some respite to low-income households for lighting and cooking.
EPRA emphasized that these changes reflect global oil market dynamics and domestic tax policies. Citizens are urged to adopt fuel efficiency measures as the country navigates fluctuating global oil prices and economic adjustments.
These changes will remain effective until July 14, 2025.
