For a single day, 9 hours is okay provided you have at least half an hour break after 4 hours of work. But a routine schedule with 9 hours working per day is also permitted by law provided you work for less than six days in a week. If you work 9 hours through six days, the total hours per week will exceed 48 hours, and that cannot be allowed. Again, a week with more than 48 hours with overtime payment at the rate of double the average wages for additional hours exceeding 48 hours is also permitted, but that too on a regular basis is not allowed and will not be economically viable for the employer. Therefore:
1. You can opt for 8 hours of work per day if you work for 6 days in a week.
2. You can have 9 hours of work per day if you work for 5 days in a week.
3. You can work for 48 hours in a week and pay overtime for the extra hours worked at double the average rate of wages.

I refer to the comment of Mr. Madhu. I have also heard that the Central Government is planning to implement a new work schedule - that is, a duty time of 12 hours with three days off weekly. I have also seen this in newspaper reports. Latest updates are invited from senior members.

I have also heard of it, but only through some reports on social media. However, I don't believe that the government is incompetent enough to implement such absurd provisions in the law that go against the current conventions. I haven't come across any such provision in any of the new labor codes (the fate of which is still pending).

9 hours duty is possible, as mentioned by Mr. Madhu T K, after providing half an hour rest after working continuously for 5 hours. Other points, as mentioned by Mr. Madhu, are also valid.
There is nowhere in the new labor codes that it has been mentioned to work for 12 hours. Rather, under the Factories Act section, it has been mentioned 12 hours spread over without any permission, which is currently 10.5 hours. With the permission of CIF, it may be extended to 12 hours. Moreover, the conditions for overtime (OT) have not been dropped. In the new code, any extra work after 8 hours, which is currently 9 hours, will be considered as OT hours.
Additionally, working such long hours could hamper productivity and quality, increasing the chances of accidents.
Therefore, it is not the right interpretation that a 12-hour shift will be introduced. Practically, it will not be feasible.
