In its announcement, the regulator noted that the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene increased by Ksh0.29 per litre, Ksh2.0 per litre, and Ksh3.0 per litre respectively.
This means that the prices of Super Petrol, Diesel, and Kerosene will now retail at Ksh176.58, Diesel at Ksh167.06, and Kerosene at Ksh151.39 respectively. "The prices are inclusive of the 16% Value Added Tax (VAT) in line with the provisions of the Finance Act 2025, the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, and the revised rates for excise doty adjusted for inflation as per Legal Notice No. 194 of 2000," read the statement in part.
