Motorists and households can breathe a sigh of relief as fuel prices remain unchanged in the latest review by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), despite a notable drop in global import costs.
In its monthly pricing review, EPRA announced that the cost of super petrol will remain at KSh 174 per litre, diesel at KSh 164, and kerosene at KSh 148 per litre.
According to the regulator, the decision to keep pump prices stable was influenced by a decline in the average landed cost of fuel products during the month of April 2025.
The average landed cost of imported super petrol fell by 2.95%, dropping from US$606.06 per cubic metre in March to US$588.16 in April.
Diesel recorded an even sharper decline of 6.62%, from US$636.75 to US$594.60 per cubic metre. Meanwhile, the cost of imported kerosene decreased by 4.52%, from US$628.22 to US$599.84 per cubic metre.
While consumers may have hoped for a reduction in local pump prices following the global price dip, EPRA opted to maintain current rates, citing the need for price stability in the local market.
The announcement comes at a time when Kenyans are closely monitoring fuel prices, which have a direct impact on the cost of transportation, goods, and services across the country.
