EPRA announces fuel prices for March to April 2026
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that the prices of petrol, diesel, and kerosene will remain unchanged
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced that the prices of petrol, diesel, and kerosene will remain unchanged for the March-April cycle, ending weeks of high anticipation.
In an announcement released on Saturday, March 14, amid the anxiety of Kenyans and motorists over the prices of petroleum products owing to the conflict in the Middle East, EPRA said that the prices of Super Petrol will continue to retail at Ksh178.28 per litre, Diesel at Ksh166.54, and Kerosene at Ksh152.78 in Nairobi.
In Mombasa, motorists will continue to enjoy some of the lowest prices in the country, with Super Petrol retailing at Ksh175.00 per litre, Diesel at Ksh163.26, and Kerosene at Ksh149.49.
In the city of Nakuru, the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene will retail at Ksh177.34, Ksh165.95 and Ksh152.21, respectively.
Additionally, in Eldoret, EPRA priced Super Petrol at Ksh178.15, Diesel at Ksh166.77 and Kerosene at Ksh153.03 for the next 30 days.

The regulator indicated that the latest prices are inclusive of the 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2023, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the revised excise duty rates adjusted for inflation.
According to EPRA, during the review period, the average landed cost of imported Super Petrol increased by 1.00 per cent from Ksh74,520.76 (US$576.34) per cubic metre in January to Ksh75,266.82 (US$582.11) per cubic metre in February this year.
Diesel recorded a higher increase of 8.46 per cent, rising from Ksh75,873.24 (US$586.80) per cubic metre to Ksh82,292.99 (US$636.45), while Kerosene increased by 6.79 per cent from Ksh77,427.43 (US$598.82) to Ksh82,684.76 (US$639.48) per cubic metre over the same period.
At the same time, it said the pricing considered vessels received and discharged between February 10 and March 9 this year.
Despite fears that the situation in Iran and fears of a future shortage could lead to drastic hikes, EPRA said that most of the shipments were February-priced cargoes, meaning that the ongoing situation in the Middle East had not yet had an impact on the current fuel prices.
