Motorists across Kenya are set to benefit from lower fuel costs after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced a significant reduction in diesel prices and a marginal decrease in petrol prices for the next monthly pricing cycle.
In a statement issued on Sunday, EPRA said it had calculated the maximum retail prices of petroleum products in accordance with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act, 2019, and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022. The new prices will take effect from midnight on June 15, 2026, and remain in force until July 14, 2026.
Under the latest review, the maximum pump price of diesel has been reduced by KSh10.00 per litre, while that of Super Petrol has decreased by KSh0.22 per litre. The price of kerosene remains unchanged.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol and Diesel decrease by KSh0.22 per litre and KSh10.00 per litre respectively, while the price of Kerosene remains unchanged,” EPRA said.
In Nairobi, consumers will now pay KSh214.03 per litre for Super Petrol, KSh222.86 per litre for Diesel, and KSh191.38 per litre for Kerosene.
The reduction in diesel prices is expected to provide relief to transport operators, businesses, and households that rely on the fuel for transportation and power generation.
Industry stakeholders have long called for lower fuel costs to ease the burden of high operating expenses and help reduce the cost of goods and services.
EPRA noted that the prices include Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the VAT Act, 2013, as read together with Legal Notice No. 70 of April 15, 2026, the Finance Act, 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act, 2024, and revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation under Legal Notice No. 194 of 2020.
The monthly fuel price review remains a key indicator for consumers and businesses, with changes in global oil markets, exchange rates, and taxation continuing to influence local pump prices.
