Abstract: In this paper we study an analogue of the Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand category

m a t h c a l O

for truncated current Lie algebras

m a t h f r a k 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

m a t h f r a k g

. Our main result describes an inductive procedure for computing composition multiplicities of simples inside Vermas for

m a t h f r a k g_{n}

, in terms of similar composition multiplicities for

m a t h f r a k l_{n - 1}

where

m a t h f r a k l

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.
