In a communiqué issued on Friday, RURA said the revised tariffs will take effect from September 6, 2025, at 6:00 AM. The maximum retail price for gasoline (petrol) has been set at Frw 1,862 per litre, up from Frw 1,803, while diesel will retail at no more than Frw 1,808 per litre, up from Frw 1,757.
RURA explained that the adjustments were necessary in response to rising international petroleum prices. The regulator emphasised that the Government of Rwanda continues to implement measures to mitigate the impact on consumers.
"In response to rising pump prices influenced by global trends, the Government of Rwanda has continued to strengthen fuel reserves and prudent macroeconomic management to protect consumers and maintain market stability," RURA Director General Evariste Rugigana stated.
The new price caps will remain in effect until the next scheduled review in two months.
