Fuel prices in Kenya are set to rise by Sh7.80 per litre as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) increases margins for oil marketing companies and fuel transporters.
The regulator announced on Wednesday, the 13th, 2025, that the price adjustments were based on today’s business realities.
With the new prices, super petrol will increase by 7.80 per litre, diesel by sh7.75 per litre and kerosene by sh7.67 per litre.
Epra emphasized that the hike will help Kenyans absorb the shock.
They, on the other hand, defended the changes, citing the need to support struggling oil marketers and transporters who have not received a margin review in years.
This will mark the first time in 14 years of government-regulated fuel prices that margins have been increased.
“If you own a truck and have signed a contract with an oil marketer, the OMC can only compensate you based on what Epra has approved. The last Epra set a price for transporters was in 2010,” Epra stated.
The regulator is therefore expected to publish maximum fuel prices for the March- April pricing cycle.
