Here are the latest available updates on Tanzania fuel prices based on recent reports:
July 2025: Ewura announced new cap prices for July 1, 2025, with petrol in Dar es Salaam at around 2,877 Sh per litre, diesel at about 2,767 Sh, and kerosene at 2,629 Sh, reflecting slight declines from June in Dar es Salaam. Port towns showed small variations, with Tanga and other ports posting marginally different caps. These changes align with global price trends and a stronger shilling offsetting some costs.[1]
November 2025: EWURA caps remained relatively stable in coastal cities, with Dar es Salaam continuing to show comparatively lower prices than inland districts due to logistics. For example, Dar es Salaam petrol around 2,752 Sh per litre, diesel 2,704 Sh, and kerosene 2,774 Sh in some reports, while inland areas kept higher due to transport costs.[2]
March–April 2026: Media coverage noted rising fuel prices driven by global factors (including Middle East tensions and import costs) impacting Tanzania. Several outlets highlighted that motorists and transport operators were feeling the pinch, with discussions around price transfers and regulatory oversight on any fare adjustments.[6][7]
Late 2026 indications: Some outlets warned that fuel prices could remain volatile due to international market dynamics, with operators cautioning against unapproved fare hikes amid the regulatory oversight by EWURA and the Land Transport Regulatory Authority.[5]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current local price caps for your exact location in Tanzania (city or district) and provide a brief comparison to last month. I can also summarize how these prices typically move with global oil trends and local exchange rates.
