The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has reduced the pump prices of Super Petrol and diesel.
In a statement, EPRA said Super Petrol will now retail at Sh197.60 per litre, while diesel will cost Sh196.63 per litre.
“As a result, the pump price per litre in Nairobi for Super Petrol and diesel has decreased by Sh9.37 and Sh10.21 respectively, while kerosene remains unchanged,” the regulator stated.
According to the authority, the changes follow Legal Notice No. 70 dated April 15, 2026, through which the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury revised VAT from 13% to 8%.
EPRA further revealed that it has consequently recalculated the maximum retail pump prices effective from April 16, 2026, to May 14, 2026.
“Consequently, the level of sushdy on Kerosene reduces from sh108.10 per litre to sh96.56/ per litre”, the regulator added.
This comes after EPRA’s earlier April-May 2026 fuel review, in which the regulator had increased the maximum pump prices for Super Petrol and diesel by sh28.69 and sh40.30 per litre, respectively, while kerosene remained unchanged.
According to EPRA, the previous pricing reflected changes in landing costs and taxes, including a VAT adjustment from 16% to 13%, aimed at cushioning consumers from high international oil prices.
The authority noted that Super Petrol delivered by One Petroleum through the MT Paloma was excluded from the pricing computation.
