Abstract: In this paper we study an analogue of the Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand category $mathcalO$ for truncated current Lie algebras $mathfrak{g}_n$ attached to a complex semisimple Lie algebra. This category admits Verma modules and simple modules, each parametrised by the dual space of the truncated currents on a choice of Cartan subalgebra in $mathfrakg$. Our main result describes an inductive procedure for computing composition multiplicities of simples inside Vermas for $mathfrak{g}_n$, in terms of similar composition multiplicities for $mathfrak{l}_{n-1}$ where $mathfrakl$ is a Levi subalgebra. As a consequence, these numbers are expressed as integral linear combinations of Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials evaluated at 1. This generalises recent work of the first author, where the case $n=1$ was treated.
