Dear Gautham,
Daily 9 hours means, it is the maximum but not compulsory. Also weekly the maximum is 48 hours, i.e daily average is 8 hours. Hence average 9 hours per day is not practical.
Generally three shifts are common without overlapping. You may plan for 8hrs including 30 minutes break in each shift. The same can be arranged as more in day/easy timings and less in night/tough timings. The latter will be economical, because if the shift timings are equal, you have to pay shift allowance for tough timings.
