The government’s KSh4.6 billion subsidy keeps petrol, diesel and kerosene prices unchanged.
EPRA keeps petrol, diesel and kerosene prices steady for the next 30 days despite higher import costs.
Fuel prices will remain unchanged from November 15 to December 14, 2026, following a KSh4.6 billion government subsidy. The intervention cushions consumers against rising international petroleum prices.
The government drew the money from the Petroleum Development Levy Fund. As a result, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) maintained pump prices for Super Petrol, Diesel and Kerosene.
EPRA announced the decision in its monthly review released on Saturday. The regulator said the funding would help stabilise prices during the latest 30-day pricing cycle.
Fuel prices hold despite higher landed costs
The decision follows increases in the average landed costs of all three products between September and October. However, consumers will not face a corresponding pump-price increase during the November–December review period.
Diesel recorded the largest rise, with its average landed cost increasing by 6.73 per cent. Its cost climbed from USD 1,065.38 to USD 1,137.09 per cubic metre over that period.
Super Petrol also registered a substantial increase, with its landed cost rising by 6.11 per cent. Meanwhile, Kerosene recorded a smaller rise of 0.71 per cent. Despite those increases, the subsidy allows EPRA to hold retail prices steady for all three fuels.
