The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that petroleum product prices will stay steady for the coming month, providing relief amid fluctuating global oil markets.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page on November 14, 2025, EPRA detailed the unchanged rates following its routine monthly review.
“In accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No.192 of 2022, we have calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products which will be in force from 15th November 2025 to 14th December 2025,” the authority stated.
This decision reflects stable international benchmarks and local tax adjustments, ensuring no hikes for consumers. Key pump prices in Nairobi remain at Sh184.52 per litre for Super Petrol, Sh171.47 for Diesel, and Sh154.78 for Kerosene, effective from midnight on November 15 for the next 30 days.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene remain unchanged,” EPRA confirmed.
The pricing incorporates the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) as per the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and inflation-adjusted excise duties under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
“The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024 and the revised rates for excise duty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020,” the statement added.
Similar stability applies across major cities: In Mombasa, prices are Sh177.42 for Super Petrol, Sh164.82 for Diesel, and Sh148.15 for Kerosene. Kisumu sees Sh180.86, Sh168.44, and Sh151.82, respectively.
This unchanged regime follows last month’s minor reductions and aligns with EPRA’s mandate to balance market dynamics and affordability for Kenya’s fuel-dependent economy.
EPRA noted in the statement that the purpose of the Petroleum Pricing Regulations was to cap the retail prices of petroleum products already in the country. This measure ensured that importation and other prudently incurred costs were recovered while maintaining reasonable prices for consumers.
It also affirmed its commitment to the observance of fair competition and the protection of the interests of both consumers and investors in the energy and petroleum sectors, emphasising transparency and stability in the market.
