'capital territory' is the definition.
(National Capital Territory of India)

'husband stocks food shop in' is the wordplay.
'husband stocks' becomes 'h' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'food shop' becomes 'deli' (short for delicatessen).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'h' inserted inside 'deli' is 'DELHI'.
