Khullar said the figures could be revised upwards.
India's trade deficit in November stood at $8.9 billion compared with $9.7 billion in October.
India's trade deficit in August had widened to a 23-month high of $13.06 billion and Khullar had said the deficit could touch $135 billion in the current fiscal year to end-March 2011, higher than his earlier forecast for $120 billion.
